Was it Palol Rossetti that one said, "People in glass house shouldn't throw stones?" Push away the Intel this, the Pentium-M that, or perhaps the ability to use the Dual Core Pentium 4, Apple has a much bigger challenge ahead of them. For years, they have been throwing down the MHz myth and now? They are sleeping with the "enemy" according to PowerPC zealots.

"According to Apple's benchmarks a Dell Dimension XP Gen4 that has a 3.6GHz Pentium 4 was 98% slower than a Power Mac G5 that has Dual 2.7GHz PowerPC G5 for a design and print benchmark."
I think maybe you means the PowerMac G5 was 98% faster in that benchmark.
If the PIV was 98% slower, the G5 would have been 50 times faster!
