Hey Bill,

I downloaded this program off GiantMike's website.

X-Bench

It runs a bunch of speed tests and then you submit the test results
with in the program and it compares it to other computers.

I ran it on the G4 933 and it beat the Duel 800 in most of the tests, at least the important ones. biggrin.gif

Try it, you'll like the scores.

There there, it'll feel better soon.

On your topic, I was just discussing this subject with the chief editor of the Swedish Macworld and we both agree'd that not many people really *needs* the new G5's. Most people don't use some heavy processing software that require a heavy duty G5. We dabble a bit in some design programs like Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign at best or we do some video editing with our home videos. We don't really need the G5 unless we want to store the whole movie in the memory by loading the G5 full with 8GB of RAM.

Most of us, even in the graphical proffession only needs an iMac.... really. But we always want the best, the fastest and the latest, wether we need it or not.

A friend of mine and his wife has their own graphical business, they do everything on their eMac. It's great and they love it and the money they saved on buying that instead of a powerful PowerMac they've used on decent software instead.

Yes, I'd LOVE to have a dual G5 2GHz with 8 GB of RAM, but I don't need one!

"pink" is good. biggrin.gif

My movie camera took a dive in an empty pool Petra.
That would of been the most intensive files [I can think of anyways] which would justify shelling out the bucks.
Course, doesn't stop me from getting one someday anyhoo. smile.gif
