There are about 12 Plug-ins that I use that are not available on PC. The endless Mac VS PC debate is really silly. Most Protools users use Macs they are easier to set up and fix if there are any problems. All the otions are built in, Gigabit Ethernet, Firewire 800, Serial ATA, Ultra Quite case design, heavy duty power supply, 64 bit OS (when Panther comes out soon). I have got an HD 7 rig and 4 - 192's and extra 1500 or 2000 for a good CPU is really nothing in the big picture.
I had a client come in with hi Digi 002 on a PC when we transfered the tracks to the HD system to mix he lost 3 songs to a virus. I have never had a virus on my Mac (that I know about anyway).
