Message: <blockquote data-quote="StarManta" data-source="post: 21800">There's a major consensus that Macs vs. PC's are not the same MHz for Mhz. Unfortunately, it's hard to come across numbers of exactly what the difference is. Most people I've talked to settle somewhere around 1.5-2 times the speed - i.e., a 1.0GHz G4 gives the same performance as a 1.5-2 GHz Pentium 4. I can tell you for sure that my 1Ghz Powerbook runs a lot faster than my parents' 1.5 GHz Windoze desktop at home.However, I'd be pretty confident that a 3.4 GHz P4 IS going to be faster than a 1.3Ghz G4... That's not why it's more expensive or why people lean towards them, though - they like the OS, the quality of the book, and so on.You get what you pay for. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
