ChasingBlueSky 0 #1 October 15, 2003 http://www.pcworld.com/news/article/0,aid,112749,pg,1,00.asp QuoteApple fans will NOT want to read this review, both the single and dual processor G5s get their asses handed to them across the board. PCWorld tested with Premiere 6, Photoshop 7.0.1, Word and Quake III. Read on to get the full scoop. The article technically covers 64-bit computing, the benchmarks are on page 8 of the review: Even Apple's 2-GHz dual-CPU G5 unit had a hard time keeping up with a single-chip FX-51 PC in most tests. (Tests were not exhaustive, however: Working with our sibling publication, Macworld, we selected four applications available on both platforms and then ran seven hand-timed tests. Our test suite, PC WorldBench 4, cannot run on Macs.) The new Macs aren't great values either, as the top-of-the-line G5 ($3549 as configured) costs about $200 more than the similarly configured Alienware Aurora._________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....
