I run Linux, Windows Vista and OS X.

I have a old style MacBook Pro core duo 1.8Ghzm, 2GB RAM 320GB HDD that do's 
the job Well but would like 4 insted of the max 2Gb so:-

Get a MacBook then you have the chose of Linux, Windows, OS X or all 3

But I would always by one of these second hand as I prefer the older style 
MacBook Pro 15"  you should be able to get intel core 2 duo 2.4Ghz 4GB 250GB 
HDD for about £800. 

That would run all 3 very smothley.
