How would Apple's x86 Mac's perform with Windows Vista vs a PC doing the same?

We're talking like the top of the line Mac Mini at 1.67GHz w/ 2GB of ram vs an athlon 64 3800+ or Pentium D 920, each with 2GB of ram?

I'm just curious.

no way to tell

Ok. Here's another question. At what speed Athlon 64 or Pentium D perform vs a 1.67GHz Mac Mini Core Duo?

X2 3800+ > Core Duo 1.67ghz >= pentium-D 920
The 1.67ghz Core Duo will be ahead of the 920 in some things, but the 920 will still likely be better for video encoding type applications. The X2 3800+ is faster than both of them at everything. Core duo is pretty similar performance wise to an X2 clock for clock, so a 2ghz core duo will perform similarly to the 3800+ X2.
