[QUOTE="nukemm, post: 314785, member: 23903"] Speed is completely relative, and although they both run Intel-based chips, they aren't exactly comparing apples to apples (sorry for the pun). OS X and Windows are two completely different OS's, each with their own way of managing memory and the like. OS X is based on BSD/Unix, and it's underlying code is very different from Windows. OS X is a cleaner OS in many ways, including coding and application execution. Right now I'm using an Mac Mini with an Intel CoreDuo 1.83Ghz processor and 512MB RAM, and for normal day-to-day stuff it smokes my AMD Athlon XP 3200+ with 2GB RAM. [/QUOTE]
