I never use all of it, but it could even be enhanced... The same patch (basically as it changes with each concert) has been running on a 500 MHz 512 MB G3 Powerbook on OS 9. With OS X I needed a bit more speed - Now with 1.5 GHz I can throw in some extra treatements... > 2. is software for Mac less functional than that on PC?

The only software I would run anyway is the most functional of all: MaxMSP. It runs very nicely on a Mac. The new MacIntels actually could also run Windows if you're willing to be adventurous... ;-) > 3. If I chose to get a Mac, would the hardware requirements be > different?
