Don't get me wrong I know the Core Duo is a great chip, but are Apple really going to get into the game of speed bumping Macs as frequently as PC suppliers do, or are we going to drop behind at time still? <BR/>I will miss the nice coloured graphs on the Power Mac pages telling us much faster the G5 (and G4 before it) are than some boring Dell box with an x86 at it's heart. I guess the biggest dissapointment is that there will never again be even the possibility that the fastest Mac is quicker doing media or whatever than a decent fast PC. The playingfiled has been levelled.<BR/>I guess now we will see who can code for x86 performance better once Vista lands...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
