[QUOTE="Qaxpla, post: 73654"] Well my 800Mhz runs just as fast as my 2.4Ghz laptop. Sometimes it's slower but sometimes it's faster (with loading apps etc). I think the mac mini speeds are pretty good and for your basic computer tasks you'll be fine. I watched something on the mac processor speeds actually. I'm pretty that it has something to do with tubing. (Information is processed through tubes). On the G4 there are 7 tubes whereas on the P4 there are 24 (correct me if i'm wrong). There's less tubes within the G4 so the information passes through at a faster rate. Thus, the Mac's don't need to have a high Ghz rating because it's simply not needed. Whereas with your P4's they have a higher Ghz trying to compete with the mac to pass information through quicker. I think that's how it works. If you'd like a comparison I think they compare at about a 2.0Ghz - 2.3Ghz P4. [/QUOTE]
