Well, after setting up a PowerMac G5 for the schools Mac network i noticed its speed and after a few minutes on the Apple website i found you can run Windows on it too.
I am coming here to see what others think about "Boot Camp" for Mac and wheather they've had any problems with it. I know it's in the beta stage and if i am getting a Mac Pro (formerly PowerMac G5 (since i can't find it anywere apart from support) it'll be when Mac OSX Leopard comes out which will come with the final version of boot camp.
I also found a "emulation" type utility to run windows too, but i havn't found its name yet.
The configuration of the Mac i was getting came to about £2,500 and the PC comp i was getting came to about the same price so i don't know which way i should go.
Any ideas are greatly appriciated.

I asked staff around the school and they said it ran Windows perfectly, and i was going to wait untill Leopard came out, and a few months after that so they can get rid of the "teething" problems
One of the staff members has a iMac that i can borrow for a week so i'm going to see how well Win XP and Win Vista RC1 performs on it, if it's got a DVD burner in it, which i think it has.
And if i am getting a Mac, i'm getting the Mac Pro which is about twice as better as the G5.
