If all you do is look at a compiler benchmark (SPEC) and an outdated game benchmark (Quake 3), well, then maybe so. But what about real world apps?Quote:

So I would say hell no :D
I would get a mac if I wanted to play Pong or Pacman, cause those are about the only games worth playing on a Mac. Even if the mac is faster, which I really doubt, there would be no point in buying one since the majority of games is not converted to be mac compatible.
I've learned to realize that Apple claims a lot of things...
Apple G5 the fastest CPU? Hell NO!!!!
As the PC CPU getting faster and faster apple is losing their strong field quicker and quicker...
If they claim to be the fastest, I bet 1000 bucks on it that the P4EE 3.2 and AMD A64 FX51 will kick its butt...
Apple is no where near pc...
Computer Maniac :)
**YAWN**
az I noticed you cant OC your mobo, I suggest picking up even one of the cheaper nforce2 boards like the 8rda+ or get a proven board like the nf7-s
Alientank -
Absolutely! That is, as soon as I get the $ to do it.
Thing is: I'm using an emachines case, which means I'd have to get a microATX mobo to fit it. There's a Biostar and a Shuttle mobo that would be a good bet in that form factor. They can be o/c'ed, faster RAM, etc.
Or, I can just get a new case/PSU and get the mobo I've been wanting (Abit NF7-S). Yes, the EPoX wouldn't be a bad choice either.
Only other problem I can foresee is I don't know if this CPU can be successfully removed from its socket or not, because I've heard some say that emachines solders their procs into their mobos.(?) That would definitely suck big-time. Do you know anything about that?
Emachine? I pity you :p I do not know anything about them soldering them in there sorry man. Get yourself an antec plus1080amg case, already has an antec psu in it and then go nuts with a new mobo and proc. I'd suggest checking out to see if your proc is soldered on or not. Just take the case off and try to take it out.
Nope, I seen benchmarks where a 3.0c outperforms the 2.0Ghz G5 (dual!!!)Quote:

So that is realworld.. And a SPEC is a great program to determine actual raw power of a CPU.
Seriously, half of you saying "omg mac sux!1" probably never used one in your entire life(with the exception of those **** ones running os 7 or whatever they used to have in schools). I don't care for macs myself, but i try not to talk a bunch of **** of something i know little about.
Right. Care to show these benchmarks?Quote:

I am tired of this dispute.. Go find them yourself :)Quote:

There are plenty of threads on this forum with loads of links!
Now dont be so sore, the G5 is a better piece of trash then the G4.. But its still not the best out...

You know, you're one of the people on this forum that I had really grown to like, and I listened much of what you had to say about comps.
But seriously, why don't you give it up with the Mac-bashing? I mean OK, so now we know that you hate 'em and think they're evil spawn from the bowels of Bin Laden - but it has gotten lame already!
May the force be with you if you use Macs.
Colossus might be opinionated, but his opinions are generally based on facts. There is a simple fact at work here and its the answer to the question in the title of the thread.Quote:

Colossus isn't the one needing to give anything up.
