PC any day of the week unless you'r not PC literate.
I give Mac the upper hand when it comes to easy of use.
Atherwise there is just so much more you can do with a PC.
Also Apple like to rip u off and when something goes wrong it will cost ya LOADS, where PC parts are more accessible and generic than apple parts.
I have 3 Mac Pros G5's behind me not one of then can boot up without crashing - and Mico invica quoted me £1100 each to fix two with a faulty motherboard and £800 with a faulty memory riser card.
So I just got new ones with a 3 year warranty :erm:

If you buy a Mac you go for OsX - don't pric around with Windows.
So, stick to the PC if you want to play games.

I always used a PC, for 21 years. Switched to Mac 2 years ago, enjoying it, but all the programs I require is only for PC. So, make sure what software you are going to use most of the time and decide from there.
All I do on my Mac is surf the internet, listen to music... That is it, a bit sad... very expensive for what I use it for.

Gaming? Get a PC....
Why not use VMWare on your MAC?

Have been think about it, but I have a work PC, so I do all my work stuff on that, and then my Mac is just for fun... But think I am going to get VMWare, just makes life easier.

Personally I think the Big Mac is great!
When it comes to computing I think Macs are a big waste of time!
Unless you are into DTP or you really want to burn the budget there's really no point. I've yet to see a Mac hold it's ground either in gaming or in mainstream business.

That depends on the games one plays.
If you play J-RPGs for example, a PC will be as useful as a Mac. You'll need a console.
If you want PS3 or Xbox or Wii exclusives - get a console.
As for Mac games:
There are at least 408 games playable natively on the Mac:

Yeah but lets be honest 407 of em probably suck.
Gaming = bootcamp . . . or a console.
I use a PC daily - it stops the door of office from slamming shut on windy days.
