Here's a rant for ya....The G4 is really just a tweaked G3, much like the PIII is just a tweaked P4. The G3 achitecture is WAY more efficient than the Pentium. As for the Mhz yard stick, well that is really becoming a thing of the past. The G3 at 600 should work like a PIII somewhere along the line of 800. The reason is its design not speed. As for the P4, well not exactly the greatest design, but a step in the right direction however it sucks because the rest of the software world doesn't fully support it...much the same as the G4. That is why Photoshop performance is the Yard stick for Apple. It's optimized to use all of its power. Why would Apple want to advertize you can save a file faster in Word...who the hell needs that!!! If the game on the Mac used the same photoshop style optimization they would very much kick ass, but they don't. So, to end this long ass rant, GET WHAT YOU NEED NOT WHAT YOU DON'T. You want games PC's and Game consoles are great...you want photoshop, get a Mac, you want 3D design...hang on for a while cause the mac seems to be able to compete in that market in the VERY near future.
