All you guys are missing the entire point!

It's all down to how many white elves you can run at once using war craft three's "Im a happy trouser slapping legion of the dark forest scrotum engine." Then you'll see my G5 kicks the arse off your athlon P4 quadrouple-decker-super-accelerated-ion-drive :P

I use Mac and PC. Now stop being such a t*at and go frag some dwarves :P

I remember during the Mac/PC wars raiding a Mac village. We set fire to it - you could see it burn for miles. The men were strung up and I won't go into what we did with the women and children.

There were some rich pickin's in that village. Aaaah! Them were the days... :smack: :uhuhuh:

I don't see anyone else in this thread called deep, do you?

And by the way, I wouldn't be caught 50 miles near your firm bubbly butt. :lol: :P

Not sure what it has to do with Macs, but Athlons can do two flops per clock tick, while P4s do one. Subject to the bus being able to keep up with it.

And then of course there is the matter of 3DNow / SSE2 which makes it completely impossible to compare two CPUs on a GHz basis.

In that sense there is a MHz Myth: architectures are so complicated that in most applications other factors than pure clock speed play a significant role.

not to mention, can you *really* be sure that code will behave in 2 different Oses exactly the same way? Cross platform benchmarking is not going to be very accurate...

This is a sad thread so full of miss information it hurts.


You'd be hard pressed to find a more GPU dependent application than doom3. Keep in mind that nvidia has been spit polishing their fully doom3 optimised PC driver for years. Not so on the mac side.


It REALLY doesn't make a good comparison of the two platforms no matter how you look at it.

All you fanboys and trolls please move along.

Don't give me that Dreamworks crap as it has nothing to do with "real world".
but of course, sure, Mr.Jules it's obvious&evident that it has a Dream word in it, innit?
:!: :?:

But you really don't think they're such a crap, do you? I mean - how could you?

O.k. - there's a variety ...

I love how the thread went from Pentium/Athlon PC CPUS vs. Mac CPUs to having firm bubbly butts and "I feel deep in my ass...." stuff :D

No, I don't think they're crap. :D I'm just saying that the argument is crap.

o.k. let's depict what this *crap argument* was referring to:
So what? I would never play games on my dual G5. I would make music. In that scenario all PCs are for amatouers. No offence.
a) you stated "In that scenario all PCs are for amatouers. No offence."
b) i offered an example of non-amatouerish usage of (similarly overpriced) technology / vendor in a quite established production company.

That said, I really do NOT see any *crap* argumentation from my side. And, as I said, there sure is a variety.
