Well Lead I agree with you in the aspect that I can't discredit something I have never used. I also don't believe EVERYTHING I read but come on Lead...test after test from gaming to video editing and such prove that PC's run faster than MAC's.<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></blockquote id="quote"></font id="quote">
Let's not forget that the majority of these tests are run by PC users that don't know jack about the Mac.

<blockquote id="quote"><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" id="quote">quote:<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"> Now more stable I have no idea. Please show me ANY article that proves me wrong where the tests lean toward the MAC side when it comes to how fast a computer runs. Now did you read the ORIGINAL post topic of this thread? I believe he stated how fast the new MACS are didn't he?<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></blockquote id="quote"></font id="quote">
Yes, he did. The G5 was just announced today. They haven't even been released yet. Like I said before, let's wait for the independant tests to come back.

<blockquote id="quote"><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" id="quote">quote:<hr height="1" noshade id="quote">I believe his original quote was, "The fact of the matter is, in real world situations for work alone Mac's out perform PC's 9 out of 10 times." and this statement is just flat out NOT TRUE!<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></blockquote id="quote"></font id="quote">
This is Milt's statement, he can back up his own remarks.

<blockquote id="quote"><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" id="quote">quote:<hr height="1" noshade id="quote">PC's out-perform MACS on EVERY LEVEL.<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></blockquote id="quote"></font id="quote">
BS. How can you even say that when you've never used a Mac??? Show me any video camera or digital camera you can hook up to a PC without having to load a driver. On a Mac, you plug it in via firewire or USB and it works, period. Another example, try to go download some software and see what your options are: Do you need the Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP version or the Mac version that works on all Macs?

<blockquote id="quote"><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" id="quote">quote:<hr height="1" noshade id="quote">I may not know web-design like you so I can't comment on the Flash situation, BUT I do know about building PC's and hardware.

So maybe I need to re-phrase my last statement. It is not that I don't believe the numbers put out by Apple, BUT I do not believe it is the fastest running computer out on the market!!! You can't just say oh cause this comp has dual 2Ghz processors it is faster than any PC's out...that is why we have the benchmark testing to help us determine in EVERYDAY USE such as gaming, accessing office and photoshop and such which is faster. I have YET to see in the past recent years a MAC faster than a PC.

Any misconceptions you have about the Mac, I can prove you wrong on. I invite you over to my house at any time for a demo. My Mac is 2 years old, and I can guarantee you I can keep up with your system. It won't blow yours away like the new G5 can, but that would be like saying "my P4 can blow away your P3", not exactly the best comparison, which by the way is what digital video magazine did. And seriously, games on PC's and Macs are both fast. Can the human eye really see 400 fps? I think not. Let's not forget that games such as Quake were written originally for PCs then ported to the Mac. Which version do you think will be faster?
