If we look at brute force, ignoring cost, OS X leads again. OS X supports up to 32 GB of RAM, two 3.2ghz Quad Core processors, 4TB of disk space, and 4 x ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 256MB for graphics. Granted, you're paying out the proverbial donkey for this. There is NO windows system that can match this performance; the OS simply doesn't supply native support for this amount harware.

I doubt the game play differences are the result of the OS differences. But I might be wrong - especially if you and I have different opinions about where the OS ends and the game applications and graphics libraries begin.
