A common misconception. Macs are way more for graphics, they can do almost anything that a PC can, and it can do more.
As for number crunching, do you have any evidence to back that up? I don't know what you use as an application but the G4 and the P4 are almost identical, in the type of heavy-duty calculations I saw.
However for serious number crunching, like a climate simulator, you would want multiple industrial strength processors like the G5, Itanium, nFORCE, not a personal computer processor.
