Mac vs. PC? I need opinions, suggestions, help...
But the reality is that it has been stuck at 500MHz for at least a year. And why is that? Is it because the whole PPC architecture is flawed behond help? Doubtful. Or could it be because while Motorola sit on their hands staring skywards, Intel & AMD continue to disappear over the horizon by throwing wads of money

Hell, for a few hundred, you can get a 400 MHz PC these days. I just upgraded a client's old machine to 500 MHz for a hundred bucks.

Mostly OT: Is there a machine that's fast enough?
These new processors, at least the 600-700 Mhz and maybe the 500 MHz will come with a new motherboard that supports 133 MHz FSB (front side bus), Firewire, AGP 4X, have 4 USB ports, and have direct support for ATA66 (UDMA/66) disk drives. These will be killer machines, not only because of the processor,
