I need computer advice!

I'm curious to hear what professional Landscape Architects have to say... Should I split my mac hard drive to be able to run pc-only programs (I've heard this slows down your computer) or should I just buy a pc laptop to run certain programs on?I looked into conversion programs but my mac is either too old of a version or doesn't have enough memory. (osx 10.5, 3GB of free memory)I am also a student so money is an issue.Thanks!See More
