Well, those Macs that beat those SGI's were Mac's best, but they weren't put up against SGI's best or Sun's best. Plus, they are only beating each of them on one of the many tests that they are pitted againsted each other in.

That is true, but it kick their butts on that test. Of course they didn't pit the xServe with the top of the line SGI or SUN systems, because of one big difference. Those have more than two processors, they cost a whole lot more than the xServe. And they said on the site that it was comparable systems, not the top of the line, even though the xServe is Apple's top of the line server.
