I just switched a couple of months ago and I absolutely love my iMac, it's a 20" 2.0 GHZ G5 (wish I would have waited for the Intel Core Duo's) but I still enjoy it nonetheless. Greatest thing about this, is it's allowed me to grow in my computer knowledge in different ways. I have many video encoding programs, I chat, download like crazy, surf all over the web, listen to music, and still get a chance to do some simple stuff with iLife '06 and I have Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, Dreamweaver, Fireworks so I've learned to do graphic design and it's so efficient on a Mac.

Mac's are great since they allocate so much stuff to virtual memory, you can literally do so many things at once, keep in mind I have a G5, that's not even a dual-core processor. I only have the 512MB of RAM in here too, I'll soon upgrade to 2GB which should be enough for me.

Mac's are so simple, so efficient, they are powerful and friendly machines. I bought a Mac mainly for the software, only thing I miss is the ability to customize. With a PC, you can change whatever you want, have the latest hardware for the price of a iMac, but I'd definitely recommend switching to Mac, it's a decision you'd never regret.
