I need a PC and a Mac. I was thinking should i get an iMac g5 20" and a really sleek Sony Vaio laptop or a Sony desktop and a 15" PowerBook? The PC is for games and work and the Mac is for video, music etc. Any suggestions? thanks

Virtual PC isn't very good for gaming, it's too slow. Get the Sony desktop and an Apple Powerbook. Gaming on Windows-based laptops is crappier than desktops.

If you can afford it, get the 20" iMac. It's a beautiful machine and really powerful. How much gaming do you do? You could always use a external monitor if you don't liek the laptop one for gaming. You can have a great machine at home for regular use, and a PC laptop for on the go.

Also, the iMac would last longer instead of a G4 laptop.
