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.

The G5 Was released it was released about a year or so ago. At the time it was the Biggest and baddest. In the mean time while it was taking gradual increases in speed. Intel Has been doing great strides in making their chips a lot faster and competitive with AMD, in which they were lagging behind at the time. While the G5 has shown only marginal increses in the year much slower then what IBM promiced. It is now considered on Par with Intells offering and will shortly lag behind. Also there is the lack of PowerBook G5 which we were hoping to have right now, and many powerbook customers are letting there powerbooks get too old waiting for a major processor upgrade. After over 3 years sience I bought my powerbook at 667 mhz the new models are less then 3 times the speed in Mhz then mine. By now for my powerbook I would want to be over 2.5 ghz But it is not happening. I am not going to invest in an other G4 chip just for a small speed increase. If the next Powerbook is a Pentuim M then so be it. The only serious investments in PowerPC software on my Mac are Office X which is getting old and Photoshop 7, which is getting old too. So Ill wait for the intel Powerbook and at the time Ill get updated Photoshop and Word.
