This mobo is tempting me to consider upgrading now.

I saw a book in Barnes and Noble the other day for people who switch from Windows to Mac. I figure that if enough people have enough problems with the switch to justify publishing a book it probably isn't that painless to do (of course now someone will chime in saying they did it and it's easier than chewing gum, oh well). Before I went to the trouble of learning a new system, not to mention replacing all my programs for Windows with ones for a Mac and installing them, I'd have to be very very sure that the Mac was going to cure some major problem I was having with Windows.

I have Vista 64 bit on a Dell something or other with 8 gigs and have had no major problems, a few niggling little ones that I'd probably have on any computer.

so am I, I run Linux at work using Nuke to process images. But the original poster is wanting to use Photoshop, so that kind of puts linux out of the picture, unfortunately.
