I have a P4 3.4 (clocked to 3.6) Extreme Edition and 2 gigs of RAM and it -owns- with Photoshop and video encoding. It is in fact faster than the dual CPU Mac's with mpeg work.
The new P4 3.6 Prescott CPU's with the new SSE3 instruction set are even much faster than this with multimedia work, and that's at a stock clock.
I got nothing against Apple except the idea that everything is proprietary and difficult to change. I'm the kind of guy who changes CPU's about once a month in an effort to hot rod a little more productivity out of my machine. I view my machine as a chassis rather than a finished box.
