that's testing defaults across the board.
theyr'e using the default OpenGL for Quake, instead of optimized DirectX drivers. it's not exactly a good test of the processor, because MS's OpenGL implementation isn't as fast as it could be, and the video card is still going to be different. It's not an issue though, because GL is nearly always accelerated through DirectX drivers on Windows, while OS X relies solely on OpenGL.
actual results of running Quake3 on Windows will be markedly better, because of DirectX

What? Quake III doesn't have Direct3D support. ID Software has always supported OpenGL and OpenGL only. There are no if's ands or buts, Apple is a lying sack of shit.

let's not forget the Flawed Study of 1995, where MS payed off IDG to run a study of UIs, including Windows 95, Mac System 7, and the OS/2 Workplace Shell.
All participants were pulled from "random" samples... fortunately for MS, though, their pool of "random" people all happened to be Win95 beta testers. How convenient!
And the instructions for the test were all tasks specific to Windows, such as "install a print driver"... concepts that are drastically different in both OS/2 and System 7. Terms used in the instructions were things that users of other UIs would be unfamiliar with, as well.
When this was over, they came out and said that Win95 was the "best UI".
All that proves is that MS is a lying sack of shit.
Then they came out with all those lies about 98 and Me, and their recent "trustworthy computing" bull... which can be definitively disproved, what with the rising number of security and malware problems with Windows.
All that proves is that MS is a lying sack of shit.
I wouldn't have a problem running windows if anybody but MS made it... but MS is about the shittiest, shiftiest bunch of crapmasters I've ever seen. Apple is spiteful and recalcitrant, but MS is a bunch of shysters and con men.

Nahh, I'm not arguing over FPS because quite frankly, the Human eye can't tell the difference between 100FPS and 500FPS.
The whole point of the whole FPS thing is Apple does not disclose true benchmarks. They do everything in their power to cripple the Pentium that they are comparing their chips to so their cpu's look like they are so superior. The Quake III benchmark is not the only benchmark that Apple did this with for the G5. They also pulled the same shit with the G5 SPEC benchmarks. It is Deja Vu all over again....Apple did this same shit with the G4 and the G3.

You simply can't trust benchmarks that are disclosed by Apple. Apple fabricates their CPU's with lies. Lies that Mac users really beleive are true.
