Maybe someone here could help me understand this. I have two roomates and they are both Mac users along with practically all of my friends. I was looking through Macworld one day and came to the Macworld Lab Tests. They had all the current laptop and desktop laps listed with feathures and speedmark 3.3 ratings. From my first glance it seems that the scores are directly proportional to the price of the system. I can handle that. But when comparing the 1.25 GHz Powerook w/512 mb ram and ATI 9600M 64 MB to the iMac with same processor speed but 256 mb ram and Nvidia FZ 5200 Ultra 64mb, the scores favored the iMac. The powerbook scores were 113 while the iMac score was 121.
Now I'm no expert with Macs or Speedmark, but that doesnt make sence to me. Shouldn't the computer with more ram score better? I hope that just the difference in Graphics chips couldn't make up the difference.
Can anyone explain this??
