Can someone prove to me (with benchmarks) that a Mac is faster than a PC??

There's a guy that posts quite a bit on comp.unix.solaris that has a very good sig.

"The use of Windoze cripples the mind; its use should, therefore, be regarded as a criminal offence."

True true

Modus...IBM makes the G4 not Mot. i know b/c we make the burn in boards for them.

Proof that the Mac will never amount to anything with the gaming industry

Bananas vs. Oranges.

Depends. Men will say oranges. Quick energy boost, tasty and loaded with Vitamin C.

But a woman will say bananas. High Potassium, convenient in a handbag and OH SO FUNCTIONAL!

I must say the G4 is one seriously impressive CPU despite what one might think of MacOS.
At 500 MHz it can reach the same performance as a 750 MHz P3 in many cases, and even more sometimes.
I read somewhere that it only has 10 million transistors, and its power consumption is ~8 Watts at 450 MHz.
Very impressive.
Too bad its not desgined for high clockspeeds, or Apple would have one mean mutha of a CPU, of course it would be slower/clock if it had much deeper pipes etc, but probabaly still quite a bit faster than the P3.

"the thing about u guys is that you hate one part of the mac, and therefor think the rest sucks sh!t."

Uh, Soccerman, if you read my other posts I've said I like the Mac. However, the mouse does indeed suck.

A) Round - never know which directly is up.
B) Single button - I would only get a Mac with dual buttons. (And yes people, contrary to popular belief, you can use two button mice with some software.)

"I will only use macincosh only and only if microsoft makes a windows OS based on mac. You see, in mac os, we only have 1 button of mouse. It restrict us bcos with windows we have a very powerful right click"

Can u make sense of that?

LOL that's a sick article.. gross..

Sunner, well said.

EUG, did I say something against u? sorry if I did.

BTW, this Radeon thing, does it mean that you'll never get a Radeon on a Mac (ie UPGRADING it?), or is it just that it won't get packedged.

soccerman, osx is based on unix, not linux. mach and bsd, in fact. (gnu's not unix!)

strange ranger, the g4 was designed by motorola. the g3 was designed by ibm. they're not co-designed like the first ppc's cuz the consortiuum fell apart. ibm might make some g4s in their fabs, since they have good fabs and good tech.
