The Longer Apple Sticks with Motorola, the Behinder They Get

Do you agree? I do.

All this nonsense over a fucking number.
I have a dual 800 G4, an Athalon XP 2100. First, the dual G4 is clearly a better machine.
Curently I am running a single processor 400Mhz G4 laptop. This laptop is better than the XP 2100.
Mhz, is BS. I used to be concerned with this nonsense till I baught a PC, partialy convinced that the speed diffrence must be mindboggling. Needless to say I wasn't impressed.
Mac's are better, they are also Elitist. It's not Moto, IBM, or Apple. They are doing what they need to do, and instead of cramming up an overheating CPU into a box of old parts Apple invests it's R&D into developing compleat new packages that are well designed and integrated.
Mac's rule. People just don't get it.

I think Motorola is just holding Apple back. It's not clock speed, though. Motorola can't make new, kickass chips as fast as they should. IBM can.

If you're talking about speed, then no, the G4 is not better. If you could put OS X on the Athlon it would seem much more responsive i'm sure, provided the athlon has a decent video card.
emh:
The speed/efficiency of a CPU cannot be determined by Mhz/Ghz alone. There are many factors. I don't know enough about this kind of thing to elaborate, though.
