Rog got to pick your ByteMark iteger test and stick to it Using Quicken and FileMaker Pro , a test that presumedly favors AAPL's PowerPC over a INTC 400mz P II . INTC last responded to AAPL's claims by using a test that favors its CISC format but it looks like AAPL wisely choose the track surface for this race . Future problem for INTC is that IBM's PowerPC G4 , a 64-bit RISC version , is now being used in IBM's RS/6000s . infoworld.com IBM hinted a version of this will be available to AAPL next year and if push comes to shove AAPL will win that 64-bit test by INTC default . Should be interesting to see each parties' wiggles , but AAPL did lay out the conditions for its iMAC speed claims . Regards, Jim K. PS: to Sam - have a nice trip to Fla USA
