OFFtopic, don't know what you did with your PC, my 2.5yo 4Gig RAM HP still works like new... i keep installed soft to bare minimum of what i actually need and use, nothing useless is loading at startup and into taskbar, and regularly run CCleaner which basically removes all temp folders within the system and cleans registry from clutter that uninstallers forget to remove when uninstalling progies - CCleaner is the only registry tool I trust.. as others have tendencies to corrupt registries instead of optimizing them.
2.5years without even of reinstalling vista and it runs smooth without any problems.
personally i'd get i7 system before any mac but as a mobile light weight notebook might consider mac notebook in the future as I like to explore new things and see what macs are about))
good luck with your switching!
