Athlon vs G4

[Comics]

I have a friend who's an avid Mac fan. I own a 1ghz T-Bird and know it can beat the G4. I really want to have a good technical argument for my friend. He keeps telling me the Velocity Engine is where it's at and tries to make me believe that it's a true 128-bit processor (which is 100% not true).

It's not true, don't believe him, it's utter FUD. Go to http://www.arstechnica.com/cpu/01q2/p4andg4e/p4andg4e-1.html, it's a great article. The G4 is a more "efficient" design, and the P4 (well, any x86 design, really) is "brute force", but in the end, it's performance that matters.

TO everyone else, lets please not start a flame war.
