Old macs are faster than new PCs running windows
WMD:
OS X is generally pretty slow. It takes the lead versus Windows when you start running a ton of apps at once (or one/two giant ones), but otherwise it's quite slow at doing trivial things (drawing windows, for example).
Pre-OS X was exactly the opposite.

--- Quote from: worker201 ---Other factors that may contribute:
- Windows doesn't multitask well
- Macs have larger FSBs than PCs (generally)
- Macs are hardware tuned and optimized

In the past FSB with slower CPUs didn't matter. Its not like a 400MHz CPU is going to have a massive FSB anyways:rolleyes:
Intels current FSB runs at 1066MHz with something like 12GB/s bandwith
AMD's HyperTransport runs at 1GHz(2Ghz efective) with about 22GB/s bandwith.
22GB/s is enough for QuadCore CPUs, Even Intel's 1066Mhz bus manages with QuadCore CPUs. FSB doesnt really matter anymore..unless your L2 Cache is located on the FSB
WMD:
Intel's quad core chips will be using a 1333MHz bus.

So...? Ad on an another 1-3GB/s:rolleyes:
Still nothign compared to HT, HT Version 3 will have 30+GB/s bandwith
Senji:
what?
i still got my trusty 410 mhz cpu and the old 30 gb hard ;]
its realy good at what it does
these days every one is like
"oh noes my system is 5 weeks old !!! lets get a new one!"
