it all really comes down to how your maintain your computer regardless of brand and OS. blame 20% on the OS and hardware, and 80% on yourself.
there is so much freeware out there made by high school wannabe programmers in their hope of being internet famous and make millions. but they are the reason for your system failure.
you can save a few bucks and get a cheap 20" lcd and big box under your desk. it will work fine
or you can get the new iMac, looks like a good deal too. Been working on a "old" 20" on a few occasions and it's been fast and flawless
good luck

I'm on mac at home on my freelance and PC at my (web) day job. Personally I prefer mac, but they both do the same thing, it's entirely up to your preference at the end of the day.

Fair point, however from a London print designer's perspective, you will almost definitely experience problems sending PC artwork to be printed.
Cue mass disagreement, yeah there will be PC savvy printers out there but they're still the minority.
In my experience :-)

I use a PC at work for web design and a Mac at home to do Print/Web/Fun. I fuqing HATE using the PC. It's totally shyte. If you're doing Web build then you may have a problem with testing your sites on the Mac but Virtual PC will sort that (available at any local Peer-to-peer store).
Get a Mac and as much RAM as you can afford.

Mac's are great, but in 8 months time when the G6 comes out out you'll find you can not upgrade the Fashion Chip without buying a new machine and we'll all point and laugh at yer cordroys..

blah, blah, blah... get a PC. Unless you have all Mac software. If you want a beefy monster of a machine get an Alienware like someone said above. Also it won't be long now before you'll be able to install OSX on your PC with them switching to the Intel chip.
