Are you guys missing this link I posted completely?

The 2.54GHZ P4 from Dell (Grossly over priced) beat the crap out of the MAC on all kinds of photoshop tests.

People complaining about PC's freezing and having problems have low quality components. There is so much competition in the PC market you can buy junk. Apple is the only one making their stuff.

If you would look at that bench mark it was running OSX 10, and Windows XP, both the newest OS's for both platforms.

Yeah theres less virus's for macs out there, but theres a lot less software and stuff to do on them as well. Get PC Cillin, let it update automatically and you will never have a problem. As far as cleaning that virus rick Im sure I can help you out.

If real world tests like photoshop filters and actions arent good performance tests then what is? How about gameing performance? Everyone knows a PC Chip will THRASH a G4. The G4's claim to fame is its Adobe performance.

The positive things on the mac are that is slightly more user friendly. Dont take this the wrong way, but they are made so an idiot can use. Athough windows xp is just as good now. The UNIX based OS is a step in the right direction as well.

I have had a properly build Pentium 4 system, recently threw in a 2.4GHZ CPU and I have had no ONE crash or blue screen error in 9 months.

Is the mac a good system? Does it have a few advantages here and there? YES. Is it faster than the PC dollar for dollar? NOT A CHANCE.
