Do you have a Mac or PC?
This common notion that PC's run atrociously more unstable that MAC's is over emphasized I think. The kids that dabble with illegal downloads, visit risky sites, and use buggy shareware with no system/registry protection are giving PC's a bad rep. I've used this PC for a little over a year with no problems or slowdowns whatsoever.
I have nothing against either operating system, but get PC if you're on a budget

It's better now, but I had a Windows XP PC with no illegal downloads and shareware etc. just created for video editing (nothing but the editing programs on it). It was horribly unstable.
Back then I switched to Mac and love it. To me the OS is the key. I just like it so much more than Windows. I also have 2 windows 7 computers and they're pretty nice, stable too. But it's not just stability to me, it's the whole experience. PERSONALLY I just like Mac OSX more than Windows 7.
You can build your own Macs BTW. THey're called Hackintosh and techically (if you buy a genuine OSX software), it's not illegal. It is however a bit of a PITA to do (meaning you have to follow a lot of steps and get hardware that's proven to work well together, there's a lot of information online about which hardware combos to use and how to set it up if you look for it). The good thing is that you can make a hackintosh that pretty much matches a MacPro for about 1/2 the price (if you buy the parts and put it together yourself).
