>>Except the dual 1 GHz Mac sells for about $2800 and 2.2 GHz Pentium 4 machines are available for much less than this. (And 2 GHz P4 machines, or Athlon 2200+ machines provide a lot of choices in the $1300-1800 range. Nearly the performance of the $2800 Apple machine at about half the price.)<< Tim - Compare the prices of the two computers he actually used in the bake-off. Compare the prices of P4 machines with the same equipment offered by Apple on the Dual G4 and you'll find that there's not much difference. Yes, I suppose you could argue that it would be better if Apple offered a stripped-down version of their top-end machine so one could get the performance without all the extras. - Allen
