Hello,

I have a request from Mac users. i need a slight benchmarktest. Im thinking of picking up one of the Powermac G4s off the apple site. If someone running C3 on a mac g4 could do a simple render and post the results, it would be greatly appreciated. I would need to know if your running a single 1.25 or a dual 1.25, along with the amount of ram. I know this is no way to accurately show results, but it would be nice to see the outcome to help me in my decision.

Right now i can render the scene wizard, Packaging, Milk document in 3m 49s with an AMD Athalon XP 1800, 512 RAM.

This is not a calling for a debate and bashing between PC and MAC users, that will do no good for me as I am a user of both and enjoy both worlds very much. My mac is an iBook G4 933 256, and my Powerbook is a G4 500 512, and they are unable to out render my athalon. I would like to get a mac that is faster at rendering than what i have available right now, and a G5 is not viable for me in my current economic state. Perhaps next year.

Thank you for your time,
Regards,
E.
