have either. BTW, my friend is selling his powerbook after 7months
usage. He's in law school and they can only take their exams on a

The one thing you really need a windows machine for is for gaming, and by the time you've put together a reasonable gaming system, you're way over most Mac pricepoints (~$400 for a graphics card, ~$1,000 for an Althlon FX, ~$130 for a motherboard, and you still don't have case, cooling,memory, or drives).
If you don't know what brand of memory is in your machine without looking, you don't need a PC.
