Before buying anything, you should ask yourself these two questions:
Why am I buying it?
What will it improve?
The answer to those should decide whether it is a good idea or not.
While I like mac, I can't justify paying for it because it has no practical use over my windows.

I am trying to make the exact same decision as Gareth right now. I'm not sure whether I should get an iMac or not.
The only thing is that I can find a PC that has much better specs than and iMac for like half the price. How would you Mac users compare Technical specs of a Mac with a PC?
I mean even though the iMac starts with 2.4 GHz and 1GB memory, would this run a lot better and faster than a PC with the same specs?
Help me out

Every program can run blazingly fast with those specs. Maybe another gig of ram will be killer though.
Bloated = No
Derek, you killed it.

if you take a mac and a pc running the same kind of processes, they should run pretty much equally. the intel chip in the mac is the same as the one in the pc. it's the 5 anti-virus/firewalls, individual calendar widgets, live desktops and other kinds of "perks" people constantly download that bogs windows machines down.

Want a simple answer?
A resounding yes, if you can afford it.
