At home I'm running an Alienware 3.5 Ghz machine with WinXP and I have

I strongly doubt that. If you've not used an Apple machine in 7 years
then you can easily have that misapprehension, but in those 7 years:

- Apple have ditched the (technically awful and unstable) Mac OS 9 and
moved to a modern operating system.
- Apple are now using the same CPUs as your PC.

I also strongly doubt your Alienware is 'MANY times faster' than a new
Core Duo iMac. Overall, your Alienware is probably slower than a 4 CPU
PowerMac.
