[QUOTE="TxNoob, post: 821271, member: 56008"] I don't know. I've got a buddy with a Vista Machine with a nVidia 7300GT and a Mac Pro w/ the 7300GT. The processor is roughly 15% faster in the windows machine and has 512MB more RAM. The Mac Pro encoded the file he was working on about 15 seconds faster than the PC. I mean granted their are exceptions to every rule. And I don't really know how well maintained the PC was. But I get what you're saying as well. I was referring to every day tasks, opening programs, etc. My eMac G4 1.25Ghz w/ 1gb Ram opens Safari just as fast as my Dual core 2.4Ghz Windows box w/ 3GB Ram opens Firefox and loads the pages as fast or not significantly slower for me to notice. It loads and starts Adium as fast as windows loads MSN Messenger. But when it comes down to encoding, rendering, etc, it would make sense that "hardware is hardware, and faster is better" [/QUOTE]
