So I'm silly, I was off by.2ghz
The point still remains: clock speed means very little when theres a 1.25ghz front side bus.;)
(Be sure to check that, but I think that's what I read.)
Amen. Although the Apple platform lacks many games, it seems to be getting the best of the best recently. Such names as Halo, UT2004, and Quake 3.
Personally, had I a ton of money, I'd purchase a $20,000 Apple machine. Decked with 8gb of ram, dual 1.6ghz PowerPC processors, and 500gb of disk space plus the apple 23" display just because it works.
My laptop has serious issues, and since then I've begun to realize that windows is the necessary evil of our time. Not so with the Powermac. Plus the spam filter is amazing.
Oh, and to the guy who thinks clock speed is everything... I have a G4 350mhz with 128mb of ram that runs most applications faster than say, my other workstation, a 1.1ghz Athlon with 1gb of ddr ram.
Go figure.

Well, take the Treo design, merge it with broadband. What do you get? Highspeed internet on your pda.

You have this idea that clock speed means speed.
It doesn't.
