Yes... why would it be illegal? Dunno if one actually exists however if it does then it would be a legal option. However there is far less need for a PC <- Mac emulator than a PC->Mac emulator as PC holds far more market share.

Basically now adays though both sides can pretty much do what the other side can do... its all down to the small things now.

Remember that comparing to Alienware is silly (Selling a name), purchasing a machine from a big company like Dell would be far better, or even somewhere like mesh... you can basically tell them what you want and they put it in the box for you, its like custom building but slightly more expensive.

That I feel is the killer for Mac, you cannot custom build a machine to you needs (or budget)... just pricing a PC at £3000, similar price to that G5 mentioned in the article so I will see what is put together...

Ok, compared to the stock Dual G5 (2.0GHz) with 512Mb of main memory and a 9600 we are looking at a 4GHz Athlon 64 with 2Gb of Main memory and a 6800 Gt, both with 23" monitors, the PC has a 300GB hard disk and is generally higher speced (not sure how duals compare to single proc systems).
