what are similar specs between totally different processor types? :)
the worst chip so far is intel ... sorry, 133mhz FSB?? are we in year 1998 or so? ( even the newest ones don't have more ... 533 is just quad piped 133 which is actually total crap ).
mac have real 533mhz till up to 1,25ghz on G5 2,5ghz ... due to that they have no need for 1-3mb 2nd and 3rd level cache because they can access the system in an acceptable speed. perhaps intel will learn that somewhen as well and create some new type of processor basing on the Benias architecture.
if they can handle to get some usefull graphics card in the systems ( 32mb 9200 in emac is just to less for that cool cpu, 64mb fx5200 in imac for a g5 as well ) I really tend to buy one, as most of my tools actually are cross plattform ... beside my free license for virtual pc ;)
