    Yeh, right...

    Just try to get numbers like that in the real world, and the Itanium is going to be way slower then an x86 chip when it comes out.

    The fact of the matter is that Doom3 runs faster on a PC then a g4. Mac zealots can rant all they want, but it isn't going to change anything. And anyone who believes apple's ludicrous numbers is a certifiable moron.

    Megahertz don't matter, thats how fast the swith flicks on and off. the G4 processers have at least 4 times the AMOUNT of switches that a PIII has, making a 500 megahertz G4 processer equal to a 2 gigahertz pentium in speed.

    You might be trying to dumb things down, but you only make yourself look dumb, That sentence makes absolutely no sense on its own with regards anything relating to CPU design.

    Not to mention juggling all those files is just NOT something I want to do in Windows with its atrocious and botched file system in which you step one inch out of Microsoft's predesigned method and you're screwed.

    What the hell are you talking about? "step one inch out of microsofts..." The only thing I can think from that sentance is that if you drag the files into the wrong window or something (one ince off). Windows Explorer has a lot more ways to move files around then Finder does. (cut+paste, drag/drop, commandline, etc)

    And how is Perl better on a mac then a PC? if anything, I'd say it would be better on a Unix machine.

    Doom3 has a totaly diffrent codebase then quake3, q3's code may get a bigger boost then d3s.

    Approximately two million copies, I doubt the developer gets more than 10%, that's $200,000.

    If the games were being sold for $1...

    in the 1980's: IBM figured they could make billions by making better hardware (i.e. PS2)

    Do you mean the IBM PS/2, or the Sony PS2? Your sentance really aplies equaly well to both :P

    Nintendo was *so* paranoid about this stuff that they released a cartridge system and further crippled their games and their development--and people still dumped the ROMs

    Actualy, it had a lot more to do with the fact that their hardware was still pretty exspensive at the time compared to sony or sega's. They didn't want to spend the money on whole mechanical system for a CD-ROM
