Here's the URL for the speed comparisons. Follow the link to the byte website and see the tests they use. They are a fairly good representation of the real world processes that are cpu intensive. Yes, these are the numbers I've seen. Those numbers are only for integer math. While that's impressive, it doesn't really mean anything in real world performance. What I'd really like to to see are actual application performance numbers. Word, Excel, Photoshop, etc. I can accept that they may be faster - I just want to know what they are. Needless to say, the other parts of the computer, Bus, drive controllers, drives, are all equivielent or far superior on Macs. I'm not sure what you mean here. Do you mean obviosuly the components used in the test machines are superior on the Mac? I don't think the drive controllers and drives are anything specific to the Mac - they're just SCSI or IDE drives. Are these some special drives and controllers only avaialble to Mac. And don't the G3 Macs use a PCI bus?
