[QUOTE="Graphite, post: 133780, member: 60"] Welp, as many of you may argue they are different leagues, its still possible to compare: From my experience, you would need about 800mhz G3 to compete with a G4 400mhz. Ruffly 1.5ghz g4 to compete with 1ghz g5. Assuming of course they all have the same RAM and other specs. Intel to mac.. well... I usta have comparison charts with using Adobe and running Quake3... But those are lost I think. I would rather use Adobe photoshop with a G4 733mhz Powermac, than any 1.6ghz Pentium 4. It would probably about the same speed though. Much of that would have to do with the architecture. And OS running. Im not sure if I would want tiger on a G3.. or a G4 400mhz.. I may like Panther .. jaguar would be nice though. [/QUOTE]
