[QUOTE="StarManta, post: 22188"] Eh... G4 = 32bit. G5 = 64bit. More likely, you saw 128MB video card, or something like that. "The macs dont need to boast such a High processor speed because it makes up for it in the OS with less stress to none on the processor" Actually, while the OS certainly helps, the processors themselves DO deliver more bang for the Hertz. If you run Linux on a 1GHz Intel, and Linux on a 1GHz G4, the G4 will still run faster. (At least, I'm 90% sure it will... if anyone's actually done this I'd like to hear about it.) [/QUOTE]
