Aye, Bulldawg you really need to research this kind of thing before bringing it up in a greoup of super-geeks like us. Opinions are one thing, but I'm afraid what we're talking about here is fact-based information. NO Mac can even come close to comparing with a home-built PC. Price-wise, or performance-wise. You don't have to believe me, and I'm definitely not personally attacking you, but you DO have to believe Calyxa! Here's the benchmark link for Mojoworld, which isn't the ONLY benchmark test out there, but you'll notice how very far down the line Macs are, and although Clay rocks, his fruit-based computer totally doesn't. It's like cars. You could go spend $250,000 on a Ferrari, only to be smoked by some dorky kid in a pimped-out Honda Civic/Integra hybrid. Not to mention the Nissan Skyline... Only, in this case it's much more exaggerated. Mac's aren't anywhere CLOSE to being the Ferrari's of the copmuter world. More like Pinto's with a nice paint job. They are toys, like a shiny toaster oven. Sure it cooks food, but would never compare to a full-size oven. (shrugs)
