I don't know the exact spec perf info, but I do remember reading how apple tweak the numbers on their initial web release. A) apple compiled Dell's system GNU optimized leaving out SSE2 implementation B) Apple also used a set of multimedia benchmarks that are difficult to verify and include heavily optimized PowerPC code.

yeah, yeah, I also know the counter argument, where Intel optimizes for Spec. But its comparing apples to oranges since they don't run off the same instruction set. We can only get a general grasp.... with that said:

there's no doubt that AltiVec is superior to SSE2... IBM and AMD really pulled off something designing the new 64bit chips. I only hope that AMD's A64 released this sept will be just as good.

 

good

 

Web Development I love using my schools G4's on all the programs needed for designing than my PC at home

Also note the PC vs Mac war is :ghey: it's like domestic vs import debates, pointless.

 

Sheez, I have had windows 2000 for over 2 years then XP for over a year, and Linux Red Hat 9

I have forgotten what this blue screen is*

Mac OS X is a ****ed up OS, yeah it can Run Old Mac Apps, but it has to emulate to do so and there is really no Memory Protection, not a good mix in my eyes

Out of the big three, Linux kills the other 2, though I use Windows alot, (I have linux to study and learn about open source etc etc)

*=Could some one send me a screenshot of this "Blue Screen of Death":fawk:

 

:werd:

i started to argue, but im not going to anymore.. but you're right... it is pointless... to each his own :fawk:
