Ran into a review of the G5 vs Intel. Looks like it is a close game and choice depends on what you want to do. I’ve got to get a Mac and I do not know what to do though a Mac with and Intel chip will run Windows too (I have also heard that Dell computers will run Mac OS X with a software patch and that could save you $500 for better hardware – but don’t tell anyone). Might be real fun to see if one could set up a tri-boot system on a Mac with OS X, XP, and Linux (Taking bets on which is fastest).
Unfortunately I have only found Apple of Apple affiliated comparisons showing the Mac to have better overall performance than a PC. All other reviews still show the other way around ๐ One test from a photography group showed that the G5 came out ahead in only 19 out of 77 graphics editing tool tests. We should start seen tests with the new iMac Intel coming in Feb though it will take some time before the Mac software is optimized for the Intel.
