One thing that I know some people who do not know mac will say that apple computers have slow processor speeds, but realyl the powerpc processor has a smaller pipeline so it is equivalent to high speed pc since it has a larger pipeline. I know they did a keynote comparing the g4 800mhz processor to some higher speed intel processor and found the g4 to be just as fast or faster. Look that up on google if you get a chance.I hope that help a little good luck with that idea.
