PC ?

P4 or Dual core?

Mac?

The clock speeds are always slower than Pc's, do top of the line
Macs(speed wise) match up with TOTL PC's? The prices for Macs seem higher,
too. Are they worth it? I have limited experiance with Macs, but I'm
looking at them.

A "top of the line" (from a performance viewpoint, not a cost viewpoint) Mac
is in terms of processor power a well loaded laptop in the PC world. Uses
the same processor, same chipset etc.

Whether they're "worth it" really depends on whether you would rather run
OS/X than Windows or Linux or BSD. If so then they are, if not then they
aren't.

In my experience they're just another computer.
