<No kidding! As of this morning they are still rejoicing! The tendency on that thread to spin bad news to good news is mind boggling.> The Apple G4 contains a PPC with the AltiVec instruction set enhancement. AltiVec in a RISC architecture is MUCH more powerful than SSE or 3DNOW in a x86 design. So for some/many applications, it could easily be faster than PIII or Athlon. Let's WAIT for some objective testing.(not Steve Jobs) I'm disappointed Motorola wasn't able to push beyond 500MHz. THE WATSONYOUTH
