Once again you're missing the point, reading my posts would be a good idea for a start, in order to avoid this sort of misunderstandings in the future. And BTW, i don't have either Mac Pro or Macbook Pro, i'm using a custom made Quad Core workstation running OSX. And from the results of the tests i've made earlier this year, it significantly outperforms basically any Mac on the market except the 8 Core Mac Pro.

Buying anything isn't smart if you don't know what you're getting, doesn't matters if you do it because it's cheaper or for any other reason. Like buying and iMac only because it's more expensive (and supposedly must be of a higher quality) but without knowing the tech specs, especially the most interesting tech specs Apple doesn't wants you to find out in order to avoid disappointing you.

Did I really said
old PC hardware did I? This is interesting. Can you please explain to me, what risk am I taking at running OSX on my PC as smooth as it runs right now for over a year without any noticeable problems at all?
UNIX and BSD Kernel isn't something Apple invented specifically for their computers, it fully supports a wide range of hardware including even AMD processors that it's not "suppose" to run on. The fact that OSX isn't officially supported
by Apple on non Apple computers, doesn't means it cannot run on non Apple computers as smooth as it runs on Apple ones, and fully support the hardware that UNIX was originally meant to support long time before Apple even thought about starting using it in their operating systems.
