Not taking any sides (so don't flame) but here is something I found on a PowerMacG4 to add to the conversation we are all having

Those are benchmarks done by Apple. I wouldn't trust any benchmark that comes from the manufacturer(I wouldn't trust benchmarks from AMD, Intel, Apple, etc). Steve is known for benchmarking the G4 processors w/AltiVec enabled while leaving SSE2 disabled in the P4's.
You can't trust manufacturer benchmarks because the manufacturer(I don't care who it is) will do whatever they can to make thier product look the best.

Oh yeah, you never answered me, where are the G5s'?

Hmm, I don't know I haven't talked to them recently. :rolleyes: :D . As for benchmark tests the web is full of them, biased and not (i think) and enough with this shittalk! I told you, it's not my shit honestly :D
And why would I give a fuck about the G5s? My G3 and my 128 MBs of RAM do a great job with OS X (note: it has yet to crash) :D
Oh yeah, you never answered me, what do you hope to accomplish and why does almost every web designer and graphic artist in the worls uses a Mac?
PS I'm saying this one more: The only OS that's good for the x86 platform is Linux or any other *NIX flavor!
Zombie9920:
Not every web designer and graphics artist use a Mac. There are lots of them that use Windows x86 systems, Linux x86 systems, Unix on x86, Sun Sparc, DEC Alpha, etc.
As a matter of fact, most rendering farms do not consist of Macs. Apple holds a very small share of the computer market, like 3 or 4 percent I believe. More than 4% of the people in the world do web design, graphics art, digital video, etc. So what am I trying to say?..? I'm saying that you are full of FUD when you say MOST of those people use Macs.
For the what am I trying to accomplish posting here question. I'm not trying to accomplish anything actually. The forum is a nice little time waster. Besides, I enjoy debunking some of the lies that are posted at these kind of site(like saying a Pentium 4 will burn up...HAHAHAHA!).
Besides, I have just as much of a right to post here as you do so if you are trying to make me leave you may as well go talk to the walll or something. 'P
If Unix/Linux are the only thing x86 systems are good for then why do Windows PCs hold so much more marketshare than Unix, Linux and Mac boxes combined? Maybe because Unix and Linux are too difficult for most consumers and don't have support for popular apps and games, Macs are controlled by a control all egotistical freak like Steve Jobs and they have almost no gaming support whatsoever(Yeah, alot of people want a computer to work and play...not just work ;P).

I think you already know the answer to that but it's not really to your interest to admit it. ;)
