My G5 boots faster than some people can type their password. Being that I'm not a gamer outside of the PS3 & XBOX realm, I'm not concerned with that avenue of functionality. Speaking from the standpoint of someone who uses MACs & PCs on a regular basis, I overwhelmingly prefer my MAC.
Being that I've been using MACs for so long, lots of my friends have asked me if I would recommend one for them. As I've told them, I wouldn't get one if I weren't using it for heavy graphics, multi-media, video/audio editing, web design etc. Most people that by computers don't do any of these things so I usually suggest purchasing a PC with decent memory, speed, and storage space. Most of them don't even use software outside of web browsers & Microsoft office. If anyone does any of the work that I do and they ask me about computers, I always recommend a MAC. My experiences have been much more successful using a MAC for what I do. I know people that work in multi million dollar recording studios, build & maintain websites for huge corporations, and the list goes on...they all prefer MACs to do their various jobs. Once you get to a certain level in your profession/skill, it all comes down to preference. I can do a lot of my graphics & web design on a PC but, I much prefer the MAC.
