Yes a modern day IBM PowerPC proc would wipe the floor with an i7.

 
Care to give some examples/models of current modern day PowerPC processors that would do so ?

As far as I know IBM still sells servers running modern day PowerPC processors for applications where pure processing power is more important than power consumption.
 
There are no longer any consumer grade computers running PowerPC.

Here's my current portable "rig".

While I'll admit my internet tone (pft) was sarcastic I would like to point out that I never said anything about Macs being better than PCs, or even just as good. So me 'starting it' is going a bit far. Not trying to point the finger right back at you, but you did just open up and insult people's personal taste. 
 
"computers that tend to gravitate towards the 'artsy' type (i.e. music nerds)"
 
This is completely true whether it's based on old pretenses or not. Just go take a look at an art school campus now-a-days.
 
Grandfather was a 25 year IBMer, as was my mother (another 25 years), and I do IT work for a living (fairly simple stuff but I could be doing more if I didn't hate the field). I'm not just a know-nothing sheep in the Apple cluster. I personally (YMMV as always) prefer OSX for basic, everyday stuff. I couldn't live without a PC of some sort in the house, and I don't. 
 
And I still stand by the iPad being the best remote you'll get.
 
Also, Jena Labs cables. Awwww yeah.

It's my budget setup for one of my guest rooms.

It costs about as much as a Stargate!

No self respecting creator of interesting imagery or sound will ever refer to themselves as an "artist." That word leaves a bad taste in my mouth. And if you want to find talent or good taste, stay far away from any "art school campus."

There's no reason to be antagonistic.

Everything leaves a bad taste in your mouth. Pics or GTFO. ;P

I think I left some lighthearted undertones in my rants. I am not referring to any of you.
