Now, I'm pretty convinced they blow, if all the personal, Dell anecdotes I've heard from various people are anything to go by.
Also, you may or may not know that the Mac is going Intel, starting in less than a year. The first machines to get Pentiums (or some sort of x86 chips) will be the minis and the iBooks. While we're still really far away from actual release, the dev machines are running fast and emulating PowerPC code pretty well. The word from Cupertino is that they will do nothing to keep an Intel-based Mac from running Windows, so it's possible that you could have both OSes running on a Mac, and since the Mac will be using a Pentium, Windows will run pretty much as fast as it would on a PC with the same chip/bus. Just more to think about.
