.....soooo I just bit the bullet the other day and ordered a Mac Pro...... and believe me when I say....this is the most I have ever spent on a computer......maybe 3 of them combined!!!
It really depends on your needs. PC's I find I am always re-formating the hard-drive to clean them up and get them running efficiently again after about a year of service.

With any computer it all depends on how you treat them I have not turned this computer off for 3 years with the exception of thunder storms. I also have not reformatted or had to reinstall software the only drivers I have reinstalled are network card and printer drivers, thats it. I am starting to run out of room on the hard drive so I have a backpack portable hard drive.
I think part of my success is that I do not go to to many web sites I do not open any email that I do not know the sender of and span just gets deleted on sight. I do all updates that the operating system calls for and no more normally a service pack or some thing like that. I keep my anti-virus up to date check for now definitions every week. when really bad viruses go around I run up to 3 anti-virus programs at a time.
I know a person that records with a PC in Winnipeg in EK that does not have troubles. I don't know the program he is using iether that maybe a contributating factor.
