    450 PPC is about the same as a 900mgz-1ghz Intel chip.

    No 450 is not fast for a mac, mine is a few years old. They now have the dual 1.42ghz G4 towers out. I wish I had the money for one of those bad boys.

    I'dd do an OS poll next then. But I will never own another Wintel box. I had one before my Mac, and I'll never go back. I use a PC at school, and hate every second I'm on it.

    I am in the real world. Right Now I'm at work surrounded my 7 Apple G4 Towers

  9. AMD Athlon XP 1900+ (1600) here.

    But shouldn't the 6th option from top be >2.5 instead of >2.6, TGPO? What option could somebody with 2.6 choose at the moment?

    Anyone knows if "ASCI White" (about 12,000Ghz) is for sale? Think what you can do with it!

    Scenerio: You need a 3 hour Two Towers DVD ripped/reencoded and
    backed up? Here you go. It took just a couple minutes.

    I thought going from 8-14 hours encoding w/AMD500MHz to real-time encoding w/1.53GHz was something. If you could run at 12,000GHz

    Ever hear of "The Speed Of Thought"? Think it and it is done

    No one can beat my VIC=20 at 1Mhz with 3583 bytes of RAM!!!!

    Anyone have the 3.06 Ghz Pentium 4 with HT??

    The Pentium 5 should be comming soon, perhaps a year or more.

    Anybody actually know how its suppouse to do any good? As I understand it's only good for multi-tasking.... For me, on win2k I set the priority of encoder to "Realtime" on the Task Manager, and it gives the program full power up until the point the mouse pointer doesn't even move...

    DV+ seems a popular model...
    Is pouring the cash into turning my PIII to a dual gig worth the cash?

    if you think running any proccess at real time will increase your speed substancially and also keep your system in a stable state - you should do a little research on the msdn site and also intel ..
