You're screwed. Even if they go Intel, your software wont like the Mac.

Mac engineering and science software is lean--like Ethiopian lean. I use a PC at work because of that very issue. Stick with the PC. You know the hardware. You know the software. I doubt that the high-end sci/eng software will ever get ported. Too much legacy and too many software engineers within the software companies that are Mac-averse. Except maybe sound engineers. I think that's a Mac-dominated domain.

But I have Macs at home. In 2 minutes anybody is a Mac user.
