Does anyone here own an eMac? I found this table:

The eMac is the second slowest Mac on the list! What the hell? Does anyone know?

Well that's because the eMac is supposed to be meant for education. It doesn't need to be super fast. Still, that is kind of pathetic.

I think there is something fishy with those numbers. I have used an eMac, and it runs OSX pretty fast and snappy.

I also run an old iMac 233 with OSX. And the iMac 233, while usable, is pretty fucking slugish. Granted, I don't imagine the eMac to be a speed Demon, but these numbers seem TOO low.

the eMac and the iMac are the same logic board
