BUT, you gotta hand it to them , WHEN Apple bring a new machien it is ALWYAS the fastes/latest technology. The only real problem they hae is 6 months later it's surpassed and Apple take too long to bring otu a new model The latest gen G5 is a SCREAMER for high memory applications ( 8Gb RAM at 1.25G access - but still only 400MHz ram !! ) BUT so-so on ordinary office applicatiosn, browsing etc.

I'd take a MAC for posing and a PC for tweaking

Yes, there are software. Go to www.apple.com and check the software. They have tons but just really expensive...but there's always underground where stuff can be found for free (not supporting it though). Who needs overclocking with the power that MACs come with. I mean come on, Mac's 1 g is more powerful than any Intel out there.
