Phenomenal Photoshop performance
Check out a performance evaluation using a real-world application. We compared the Power Mac G4 to a 2.53GHz Pentium 4-based PC, using nine commonly used actions and filters that stress overall system performance Ñ including processor, memory, system bus, and hard drive Ñ in Photoshop.
The result? The dual 1.25GHz Power Mac G4 is 90 percent faster than the fastest PC on the market with a 2.53GHz Pentium 4 processor. Fact is, even the dual processor 1GHz and 867MHz Power Mac G4 systems outperform the Pentium 4 by 69 percent and 45 percent, respectively. How, you might ask, can even the entry-level Power Mac G4 outperform a PC with a Pentium 4 processor running at more than twice the megahertz? ItÕs further proof that megahertz alone is a poor indicator of real-world system performance, particularly when comparing different overall system architectures. You do the math.

Hey Sky, the Mac may cost a couple bucks more, but you get what you pay for. Macs last longer and have fewer problems, and, best of all, use OS X! never having to suffer through Winblows again makes it a bargain at any price.
Take care,
