Thanks for the information, I rare read about Mac.

I know the Mac could be faster with the same CPU speed, but Intel and AMD
just running very fast since there are lots of people using them, they have
the money to spend on development. They are now 2GHz and 1.4GHz
respectively. I really don't know if a Mac system of $3000 or below can work
faster than them.
