>>What is needed is an on screen race between the two, represented by, say cars. You should have a way to get two(Apple and Wintel with same clock speed) machines to run a benchmark that is equalized for fairness of CPU speed(any 300 beats a 233, but an Apple 300 beating a WIntel 300 has meaning).
Bill:
That could be useful.
A steady, consistently-run, visible, straightforward, fact-oriented (speed, price, compatibility, ease of use, and so on), hard-hitting advertising campaign is "what is needed", and what is apparently coming soon (and already here).
For me, a Motorola 750 233 beating a Pentium II 300 has meaning. "Equalized for fairness of CPU speed" (as far as megahertz/clock speed) doesn't work, because 300mhz 750 PPCs aren't out yet, and they don't need to be out yet, because the 225s and 250s are already ahead of the Intel pack. And they are scheduled to be to 450-550 by the end of the year.
