KernelPanic:
I think this could be an interesting topic, just lets not start posting crap and decending into a childish arguement...

And if you know it could you put your computers benchmark at the bottom of your post like this:

Processor name -- Speed in Mflops

CPU: G4 SPEED: Dual 800Mhz

This is the best computer I have ever used in my life. It does everything I want quickly, efficiently, with no hassel whatsoever. Demanding Applications run smoothly with out a hitch, I have yet to find something this system can't do.

Sure, you could probably get a dual 2Ghz Athalon XP to run faster, but if that system is running Windoze, I can still kick the shit out of it with OS X  :D

Besides, this comp. does everything I wan't and more, so why should I care.

CPU comparisons are the equivilant of comparing dick size. It's not how fast it is, it's how you use it.

actally i think this was a discussion about different architictures and how they get things done, not the software /*macosx and windows*/

i don't think so. besides what is wrong with comparing different architures. hell, it might even help someone choose an alternative platform

ok, what i know about cisc is that x86 is a cisc style processor. i think that most modern x86 processor are essaintly risc processors that translate x86 instructions to rops, or risc ops. the x86 also started its life as an 8 bit cpu. they then extended it to 16 bits. after a while they added 32 bit extensions to it. now with amd's x86-64 64 bit extensions are being added to this processor family.

as for megaflops i have heard that the xbox can pull 8 gigaflops. and it is a basicly a celiron

then again i heard that the gamecube can crunch 10 gigaflops.
i wouldn't know about my current k6-III system's megaflops though
