But the different processors perform differently with different
applications and to some extent there often need to be a specific CPU
target to achieve optimal performance. Audio apps and the G4 comes to mind.
So while the G5 was a letdown to me, perhaps this was because the apps I
use don't make use of the best sides of the G5 processor and that I
expected a whole lot from them (and the faster buses).
