Hello, Here are my results from Xbench. This is with 10.2.4 running. My score was 94.36 I am not sure how this compares to your 77.80 on your G4 500 mhz. But I have a G4 400 Mhz at work and OS X sleeps. I realize there is a huge difference with Quartz Extreme but I am not a person who likes to wait for computers to process. My 400 mhz machine running OS 9.2.2 and Flash MX was almost painful for me. I will run this on my dual tommorow. Can anyone explain the difference between 94.36 and 77.80. Did I pay to much for this little beast? Anyway. Cheers Tony --- Daniel Brieck <djbrieck at mac.com> wrote: > Tony, > > The noise aside how is the new G4 ?
