Mac V's Pc Options

I have been using a PC P3 800mhz with cubase SL and I am thinking about making the move to a Mac running logic.
I do not know much about the comparisons in the hardware but is this a better way to go than a new PC

Any thoughts would be helpful

Right now compared to a G4, a top end PC will give you more tracks/plug ins and XP is plain stable and polished. Now you like Windoz or not.

To compare with G5 is still under controversy. But G5 mono 1,8 are equivalent to a G4 Bi 1,25 (Source)

The first test from our Active Member Celmo (pro user, in the French forums) show that the Bi 2,2 is a bomb and most of the software and hardware compatible works top notch (cubase is way better than before) (Thread in French here)

Still no caccounting of number of tracks/plug ins as max load available… But maybe someone can do the test

Upon the OSX: Pros are starting really to use it for a few weeks now in 10.2.x (at least we have some here and we can give names , Pa,ther seems to go for the better. As a veteran Mac power User (still in 9.04 myself because I'm on a BW G3 400) the 10.2.7 on G5 at Apple Expo Paris in September was the first time PSX made me really itch, user experience almost without pain (it's sometimes difficult for long term mac user to go OSX). It's slick, and starting to be really polished. I've had way more facilities than I have when i'm going at a friend's who is on PCs and XP, wich is still a pain in the A… for me.

To be short: I can't tell you which is the most powerfull now but I'm way convinced of the easiest to deal with

About Logic Vs something… Did you named a second sequencer? I'm not sure

Have a good reading anyway as some points on the Cubase/logic controversy are already there.
