I noticed that a lot of people use a Mac computer when recording. Are these computers better than a PC??

All just a personal preference.

Personally, I've had less issues getting my hardware working on my Mac than I ever did in Windows, and it's not because I don't know what I'm doing. For some reason, audio hardware seems to just play nicer with Macs. I used to have to plug things in in a very specific order and turn them on and just the right time in order to get everything working in Windows, but I can do it any way I want on my Mac.

I have a PC (2) and Mac's (a few) and I ONLY use my G5 Mac for recording. Never any issues - no tweaking needed - ZERO latency problems... If you used one I guarantee you'd be a FANBOI too

Mac is worthwhile for Logic. Heard its a great package (friend told me it comes with a bunch of really nice plug-ins).
Although, I like building PCs, and since I know Windows a whole lot better (and there's more freeware plug-ins for windows available) I went that route.

I have a pretty effective Asus / AMD PC setup that I built from scratch and mostly what I want to run on it works without complaint. OS is Win XP Home; I have about 2 Terabytes of external LaCie hard drives, one of which I take to gigs for recording with a Mackie Onyx mixer and my PC laptop (using Reaper) Post production work is done in Adobe Audition 2.0. Never had a problem that wasn't my own fault.
BUT..
The day will come when I need to upgrade, or do some lateral thing, or use PCe cards or some such nonsense - or maybe I'll do something stupid and fry the system. When that day comes I'll be switching to Apple. Not so much because I don't like PCs - they're kind of fun and accessible in a way that Macs are definitely not. But rather because Microsoft is such a nuthouse that I have no interest in being yet another MS guinea pig.
So if I were starting from scratch, I would try for a Mac G5.
