In my personal experience macs tend to have a lot of bugs.

When I went surfing the net for graphics some places on the internet would make it crash.
My brother-in-law works as a graphic designer, and swears by Macs for that work. He had more problems with RAM, etc. on his Wintel platforms than he did on Macs. I also have a couple friends who swear by Macs for computer-generated music.
I agree that Mac uses RAM differently than Wintel platforms, and tricks that work for Wintel don't work on Macs (I found that out the hard way while helping my mother with the Mac she had to use at her office).
As for browser crashes, that could be related to all the websites that use Microsloth tools to create the pages, which adds in all sorts of non-standard things that non-Microsloth browsers can't handle very well. Yet another way to maintain a monopoly...
