Here are the spec of my PC:

RAM: 12gigs DDR3 1336
MotherB: X58 Chipset
Primary HD: 320gig 15000rpm
GPU: ATI 4890 1 gig
A friend of mine has the newest current Mac Pro Tower that has two physical Intel Xeon Procs that does NOT out perform my single chip i7 core!
Apple have yet to put a true i7 core in their machines. So do not come at me with Mac bullshit! When Apple installs true i7 procs in Macs then they will be on the level of a i7 PC.
Go to Intel.com read the specs on the i7 core and the Intel Xeon ?Nehalem? processor
They are not the same. The i7 is the fastest and widest bandwidth proc to date. They have four levels of cache that are far greater than Xeons as well.
Now when it comes to which OS you prefer I will not argue that at all.

Actually, dual Xeons will still outperform an i7 for a number of tasks - primarily heavy numbercrunching. Combined with the ECC/non-ECC difference, it should be obvious which tasks Mac Pros are most suited for.
There's a reason i7 and Xeon are marketed for different goals by Intel, you know
