Does anyone know where there are some good "speed" ratings of G4's and G3's? I am really curious, especially with rumors of faster G3's coming. It's like comparing Pentium 3's and 4's... sometimes a Pentium 3 could be faster than a Pentium 4 at various mhz levels.
I am also gearing up for some "real world" testing myself... I am going to take some things that I do on my system that I think take longer than it should, and then take that into a CompUSA and perform the same tests on PowerMacs and Ti powerbooks. To see if there is a significant difference in performance even between "same labeled" processors. (ie, G4, 1ghz).
I realize there are more factors at play than just the mhz rating... and that is why I am wanting to perform those tests to help me down my path of decision on buying a new system sometime in 2003, Lord willing.
