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

I would like to just make a few things known on the mac vs pc debate. It's much like the Linux vs *BSD debate us unix admins tend to get in on the subject of free operating systems.

They're equally as good, equal in faults and when you get down to the nitty gritty it's all about how you have your machine configured.

As for the security aspect of windows vs mac there really is one thing going for Mac. The general populous does not use it as much as windows. When you have something that pretty much everybody and their grandmother uses that's where the kiddies are going to attack.

Simple things can keep you from getting viruses and exploited. Grisoft offers a free A/V that's great. Keeps everything off as long as you keep it on auto update.

Microsoft in it's later releases (2k and XP) you can have autoupdate turned on. Unless you're running a server where certain service packs can break applications this is a great thing to turn on. Keeps your machine up to date.

Just doing those two simple things will keep your machine from getting hacked for the most part. Just because you have a Mac does not mean that you are more secure, just means less people are trying to release things that affect you.
