I've run Pro Tools both on pc and mac. I've got 2, 1gHz laptops and a G4 800 mHz. The speed of the system only matters when you start using a multitude of RTAS (realtime effects). More ram means more tracks. The bottle neck for the system (independent of Os/arch) is disk access. I have cardbus firewire cards for both laptops, and directly record to an external 7200rpm drive. Trying to record onto anything less will delay drive IOs making 1) Protools bitch and 2) your ass twitch.

As far as a difference between PC and MAC, I have seen none -except the annoyance of partitioning a firewire drive for both HFS and NTFS.

I recommend sticking with PCs, especially since XP is slowly becoming the industry standard. Supporting OS X has become more of an annoyance than anything else. Digidesign now has a unified widget library, so the interface is the same across platforms.
