Mac's are a much better machine than any pc, a g4 867 runs way faster than any pc on the market. Sure you could have a 2ghz pc but it doesnt run at half that, macs cost more cause there a better built machine. If a pc would actually run at its full potential then pc's would be great, I own both a pc and a mac, and I like my mac better for almost everything, except for one...that would be burnin dc games. I tried on the mac, I put in alot of effort, but I just couldnt get it to work, so I went out and got a pc with a p4 in it, and even though the shitty ass operating system(referring to all the windows) the pc seems ta work great.
Oh... My... ####ing... God...

Your comparing apples to groundhogs here my friend. The Pentium 4 is the worst god damn CPU ever made, hell even Intel admits it, in one of their newsletters they showed off a P4 chip with a heatspreader and the background was a Tyan TigerMP motherboard with two AMD Palamino processors. Secondly in benchmarks ran, the AMD Thunderbird 1.4GHz blazed past the Pentium 4 2GHz in MIPS and MFLOPS. Now that we have the AMD Athlon XPs out with QuantiSpeed architecture, it will outscore any G4 by several miles.

The last benchmark I saw, compared a top of the line G4 against a Pentium 3 933MHz, and the P3 smoked the G4, it was no close battle. As I stated, the only thing PowerPC has over AMD/Intel processors is Photoshop conversions, that is it. It does nothing better than the PC, except for that miniscule detail.

Hell even my stock machine here could beat any G4 you threw at it in 3DMark and SiSoft.
