I made the switch last winter and never regreted it. I was so tired of seeing the "Blue Screen of Death" on a fairly regular basis and broke down and bought a iBook. Since then, I also got an iMac (from Ebay for less than $600). The cost of apps was not that much (Office X Education pack $129 with 3 licenses, and Adobe Photo Elements-$60). Pretty much everything else I needed was bundled with OS X. I am not a gamer (I own an Xbox for that), so I wasn't out much for games. If you are considering switching, you owe it to your self to at least check out a used system from Ebay. My son's school runs OS X 1.3.5 on 333 mhz G-3's. Try running Win XP on a similar x86. |

Actually, my roomate runs Windows XP on a 233 MHZ with 128 ram. He also uses photoshop on it as well. Perhaps you should look at the system requirements for a PC?
