Same here, I use my old dell for gaming, but everything else is done on the Powerbook.

How does the speed compare?

I think MacOSX is far more efficient than Windows and seems to run high memory applications such as Adobe and Macromedia programs much more efficiently than Windoes based computers. My 1.25GHZ powerbook seems alot faster than my parents 2GHZ Dell.

Same - OS X is a lot sleeker and uses RAM better therefore creating a faster speed. PPC's also arent clocked the same (from what i have read)

OS X's workspace alone makes it faster due to a more streamlined OS ment for the worker.

i've NEVER had performance issues with programs on Windows unless it was ridiculously low hardware compared to the reccomended.

Like Photoshop CS, 3DS Max 6 and Bryce (Not at the same time) all ran smooth on my old AMD 1.2 Duron /w 256 Mb DDR (Like pc 2500 or something slow)

Speaking of 3DS Max, I have the only copy ever made for Mac. It was a copy commissioned by the Art Institute of Atlanta and was never released or sold to the public. You can only get it if you go to the Art Institute of Atlanta, or know someone who did haha. I can easily run Photoshop, Illustrator and Flash all at the same time and still efficiently. My old PC couldn't handle it haha.
