It's better on PC.

I have both....Its better on PC

... PC here, too! But Macs are prettier ...

Only on the outside (if you like that kind of thing).

Actually - on the inside they are beautifully built and engineered as well.

... well, on the inside, they look oddly reminiscent of a ... how should I say ... a PC. Alright - enough of that.

> But Macs are prettier

That is what I hate about them... they are all the exact same. I think they are ugly but that is me.

I prefer a choice which is why my carbon black server case looks so nice.

...the inside of my Mac looks like the inside of a Ferrari engine bay. Inside most PCs look like a Model T Ford.

Despite that ...still does not mean I like my Mac.

Almost as good as a decently built PC, without the expansion options.

If you really want to speed up your PC edits don't you ramp up the RAM as high as you can. 4Gb, where you actually get something like 3. something is about as good as it gets on PC but, I discovered this after making my choice of PC over Mac, but I think Mac's RAM can power up to 8 or 12 Gb.

There are plenty PC's that can easily accomodate 32 or 64 GB RAM and even more. You only need a mobo with 8 or 16 DIMM slots or more.

And an OS that can make use of it.
