Wow, those benchmarks should make any Dual 1.25GHz Mac owner cry when thinking about performance vs cost.
Of course, they'll bring in things like "but it's the software, idiot!" And again, they'll miss the point about price and performance.
Funny how mac users were quick to quip the superiority of their hardware versus "peecee" stuff a few years ago.
I just wish Ace's could do some more benchmarking...
Don't get me wrong -- I like Macs. IMO, OSX.2 > WinXP w/ sp1. But you have to ask if spending an additional <insert ridiculous amount here> is worth it if you're primarily concerned about performance.
Usability is not a big issue anymore -- not very hard to operate any of the machines, and if you're going to buy things like this, you probably already know how to use the OS.
Err, better stop before this gets into a long mac vs pc, pros and cons post.
