And, it isn't hard to find that a 1 GHz G4 processor in a Mac is substantially faster than a 1 GHz Pentium processor in a Windows machine. However, it doesn't take long to find that a 3+ GHz Pentium outperforms a dual 1.25 GHz Mac - all other things being fairly equal. The place where Apples outshine Windows is in ease of use, dependability, ability to easily play with lots of other peripherals, design, etc. We are behind in speed - I hope that changes soon, but I don't expect it.
