Not too many people compare Macs to Intel/AMD because their apples and oranges. They both work very well. I've used both and really don't see that much difference except the mACs are so bautifull, I want one, but too much money and evrything is expensive as it is all proprietary to Apple.
Windows O/S's pretty much suck below win 98 se. 2000 and XP are not a DOS based system like their predesesors, they are NT based so they are much more stable. On the flip side my wife has an old 98SE on her computer and always has 6 or 8 apps open at all times. Never a glitch or problem. I on the other hand can't keep away from tweaking and overclocking so I have a few glitches but never a serious problem.
You might try going into my computer, control panel, systems and you will see a tab towards the bottom that says virtual memory. Write down the virtual mem number and the set vit mem to 0, yes 0. Reboot and duplicate directions except this time select vir mem and plug back in the original number and reboot again. This will speed things up. also go to window explorer and delete all history files, cookies, temporary internet files and do a defrag.
