[QUOTE="meltbanana314, post: 81142"] Both. The small bus of the PowerPC G4 7450 can't compare to even Celeron processors. Freescale really sucks at making processors. IBM's PowerPC 970/FXs trounce AMD64s though (wow, it looks like a flame war is going to start anyway...) The main differences between the OSes are that Microsoft has a lot of time and money to cobble together a fast, insecure, unstable OS that people write fast, insecure, unstable apps for. Apple, on the other hand - made a good decision by using BSD Unix + Mach as the foundations of the OS and making a secure, stable, and functional OS that happens to run a bit slowly. I'm sure by the release after Tiger, OS X will be on par with Windows XP or Longhorn (if it even will be released) as far as speed goes. [/QUOTE]
