I remember when I got the original iPhone you couldn't but now I'm reading stuff about being able to authorize up to 5 comps or something?

Just got a new mac and my old Dell is pretty much dead but I have all my music on a external HD, so would hooking my 3GS to a new comp erase all my data or just the music?
 
It would in theory erase everything depending on what your sync settings are. You should move all your music to the Mac, and make sure your other things are moved to the new computer too like contacts etc.

your iTunes account can sync with upto 5 computers (home sync in iTunes 9) though not your iPhone.
