Because OSX > XP by leaps and bounds. I'm really digging Expose.

Im probably gonna build an athlon X2 for my editing rig.

Well, it seems a little sluggish now that I'm online, I wonder if it's from the slower computer (it's an old 1.8g Pentium 4) Or if there is a problem.
Edit: well I guess it's just firefox that's slow. Safari is smokin fast.

I got mine off of news group alt.binary.warez.ibm-pc.os

You can find more about installing OSX on a PC here http://www.osx86project.org/

And you should be able to dual boot just fine. The easiest way I've read is to do it is use a seperate hard drive.

FF is naturally slow on OSX. It doesnt use the native Carbon or Coco interface, thats why all the cool plugins and themes work. If you want a fast browser other than Safari in X look up "Camino"
