how can you really compare a mac to a pc?

I am almost certain that macs are better, but in almost every case where they have been compared, it looks like the pc comes out on top.  Now how can that be?  How do you really compare the two to really show how the mac is superior?

i did, however, find this page:

It really depends on your point of view. I prefer a mac over a pc, mostly because of osx. And the noticable performance increases when using apps like photoshop. Even with the standard photoshop tests, some things are better on a mac, while others are better on a pc. I have always been under the impression that macs were just superior all around, and that the numbers game was just that, a game. Im not so sure anymore. I havent yet played with a g5 so i cannot judge apples newest offerings. If you trust reviews, base your opinions on them. Honestly, i cannot find one that isnt biased one way or another.

Hopefully someone with more knowledge of the hardware and how it works chimes in. They might be able to explain the differences and which one is better.

when it comes down to it, does a time of one SECOND matter so much either way?

the G5s get 190fps while the P4s are getting 195fps in some game

whoop dee shit. My G5 1.6 is fast enough to do what I want to do. My G4 867 wasn't that bad off, but HD performance was holding me back some, so SATA is nice.

I can record 12 tracks of real-time audio with no loss in quality, and no skipping.

I'm sure I could do this on a 2.4GHz Pentium 4 with windows 2000, as well.

why don't I? because I don't want to. I use Apple computers because I like them. I still love my iMac DV 500. my iBook 600 works great, as well. Hell, even my old 7200 finds a place!

The only way to really compare a Mac to a another PC is by comparing their respective designs. Most Dells and HPs/Compaqs must have been designed by blind mice. They look awful!
