Mods, please delete





Hey,
I just read an article justifying Apple's comparisons and dispelling some of the lies created in the Windows world about the G5/Xeon comparisons.

http://www.applelust.com/oped/amc/ar.../a030718.shtml

The only thing that the article didn't mention was that Intel now has a 3.2Ghz processor with the 800Mhz FSB etc.
The reason Apple didn't use this was that it was announced/released the day of the WWDC and thus there wasn't enough time to obtain/prepare a system for comparisons.

PS. I wasn't sure whether to post this here or in the lounge.. so mods, if this belongs in the lounge just go ahead and send it there.
