Apple Steps Up the Speed

With its souped-up processing power and overhauled system architecture, the Apple Power Mac G4 ($3,299 direct) with dual 1.25-GHz processors is one fast machine.

Brains, brawn, and beauty all rolled into one neat and easily accessed package. You don't need to sacrifice anything (except maybe the desk space your old windoze machine used to occupy) to take full advantage of all the things you never thought were...

Finally people who are dumb enough to base computer purchases entirely on raw speed can justify getting a mac again, and they'll get to expierence an OS that windows can't even touch.

I've worked cross platform for years. I now use a Mac for DV. Macs work faster, easier for what I do (imo).

The G4 is SLOW. I don't know what benchmarks PC Mag used, but the G4's I've used are MUCH slower than even mid-range PC's.
