yes there is, it's the users and the software developers poor little brains. Look at the lunacy of the 3D gfx card market, you've got people buying $400 gfx cards in order to play games (eg Doom 3) that don't actually exist yet!
" Show me a hard drive that can even write your data at 400Mb/s"
Well, I have a striped pair in this Mac that can write at just shy of 90MB/sec and read at just over 110MB/sec. It's internal on a USCSI 160 card at the moment, but that's because FW 400 was no good as a USCSI replacement. FW 800 might well be...
the dnetc RC5-64 and RC5-72 client for MacOSX both make extensive use of hand coded Altivec optimisations. All that your results prove is that Altivec is an extremely powerful vector unit - but we knew that already.
Look at the dnetc client comparison database and you'll find some spectacular results for the MP Macs - a 2 way 1.42 Ghz G4 scores like a 16 way 1.05 Ghz Sun Ultra SPARC III.

Have you noticed that they stress it incorrectly too?
English:
"I couldn't care LESS"
Merikan:
"I COULD care less"
it's a strange business - Merikan English seems to develop via a process of Chinese whispers
"Why don't you try paying a bit of attention to the language we've all agreed on, you fucking retard?"
Maybe if he does, he can grow up to become as stupid as you?
It's THEY'RE as in THEY ARE you fucking Muppet.
"Call them idiots, but most people could really give a shit about the computer sitting on their desk."
Try this:
Call them idiots, but most people couldn't really give a shit about the computer sitting on their desk.
You see? It actually makes sense now!
You have to capitalise "English".
Helps if your post makes ANY kind of sense, too.
You REALLY should try travelling the world. No wonder US foreign policy is so fucked.
well, client benchmarks ARE the responsibility of those submitting them...
POWER 5 isn't out yet.

I used the USIII because NONE of the MP x86 systems could even approach the 30Mkeys mark... best Athlon was 13, best P4 was even less.

You don't get out much, do you? Never seen a digital camcorder?
that's some of the most exciting new comedy I've heard in years!
if you placed it on your lap, it would at least protect your family jewels from most forms of ionising radiation.
That's gotta be worth SOMETHING...
I'm sure IBM would be delighted to sell you a PPC 970 system running Linux in a few months.
Hope you're feeling rich, though...

I wouldn't worry about it, this is PURE speculation. Apple's hardly going to release SLOWER computers in the future, are they?
Did you mean:
Probably because it's a lot cheaper to licence and both very stable and customisable to one's needs?
I do hope so.
"I'd buy that before I would an iMac"
Just shows how dumb you are. CRT iMacs have NOT ONE fan, and don't look like someone took a dump on your desk.
I mean, why the fuck did he install TWO optical drives?
"The thing looks cool by my standards"
You must be fucking ugly too.
What a disgrace.
wrong Partridge, dimwit

nice inferiority complex you've got going on there!
Phil Schiller? Martin Scorcese?
You got me.
Not likely, 99% of these wannabes have never seen FCP in their lives.
