I agree, it could use a RAM upgrade, but Mac OS X is generally very efficient when it comes to RAM allocations (*ix systems in general).

As for the Mac's not being better for music and video editing is completely bogus. The software Mac's come with are awesome - iLife comes with GarageBand. Some of the best music arranging software ever created. Not to mention Final Cut isn't available for PC, and I personally hate working with anything else.

But whatever. To each his/her own.

I ain't even gonna get started on a discussion about this or it'll go on for months

I'll just say that I've used plenty of PC software and I've used plenty of Mac software but the number of options available on the PC side on its own is more than enough to keep me there. Macs are, for the most part, nice if you want sheer simplicity, but try to go any farther and you hit a ceiling pretty quick. Just my experience, though
