I certainly found this out when I was pricing workstations from Dell...
Except Dell doesn't sells only intel cpu's. Apple is struggling to keep up with Intel in the megahertz race and even if the performance/megahertz ratio is better with the G5, the increased clock speed of Intel chips will still keep Intel ahead. (Just look at benchmarks of dual 2.0 GHz Opterons vs 3.2 GHz Xeons).
Ironically the Texas A&M administration has decided to enforce such PC positions - we now have a diversity vp with a salary of $170k+ to ensure A&M is friendly to a small minority of minorities who prefer to blaim their failures on bigotry rather than accept personal responsibility and do something about it. These people need to come to grips with the fact that this world isn't perfect. Face it, all of us discriminate every day. Gosh, when I look for a gal to date I am pretty damn particular - what's next, are the PC police going to redefine diversity to include diversity of appearance, and force me to date unattractive girls in order to "level the playing field"? On second thought, maybe that wouldn't be too bad, as long as the law applies to supermodels as well.
