[MacDV] Re: G5

[BURTON Chris]

Joseph,

Unfortunately the G4 was never designed to compete with the P4. I think when it came out it was competing with the P2. And yes, it
was loads faster in that instance. Looking at the comparisons I've seen for the G5 vs P4 (they also had the G4 listed ... that
French site that I can't remember the name of right now) the P4 just absolutely wiped the floor with the G4. No wonder the P4 feels
faster to most people .... it is. Just a fact of life here ... Moto dropped the ball with the PPC development. Like you though, I'll
wait until I can test drive one at the local Apple Store that way I can compare it to the wife's P4 2.4GHz first hand.
