Mac's whole notion of megahertz don't matter is valid, but only when it comes to competing with Intel. It is true that a G5 2.0GHz system will outperform a P4 2.0GHz system. But then why won't their 2.0GHz systems beat an AMD64 2.0GHz system? The only reason Mac had the "fastest" processor at the time was because MS hadn't readied their 64-bit version for AMD as it was scheduled to have been released. So, even though the Opterons could run Photoshop faster, it didn't count because it wasn't using a home OS, rather a business OS. So the whole G5 hype was unfounded in my opinion. And yeah the P4EE's urn the G5's, but then the FX-51's burn those. AMD rules!
