gotta love those mac salesmen...

[GoingUp]

I was in Compusa to get paper today, and I got in an arguement with the Apple rep over their fake advertising and bogus benchmarks. The kicker was he told me that a dual 2 ghz g5 machine with 8 gigs of ram is equivalent to 2 pentium 4s running at 6ghz..

LOL when I asked him why apple didnt test against a hyperthreaded p4, he shut up real quick... LOL anyways, just thought id share.

And yea, Mac's are not as fast as they would like to claim.
