I think you can oc the mac (since as you say it's the same hardware) I've not done it but one of the nerds in the office has apparently. But because of all that white packaging there's bog all space for decent cooling so higher OC's can be attained in the pc rather than the mac. I've Oc'd mine to 4.6 GHz now... going to push for 4.8GHz once I've established the cooler can take it
