wait a toot
Well apple has FINALLY hit 1 ghz
thats cool I guess <img src="graemlins/embarrassed.gif" border="0" alt="[Embarrassed]" />
but I was just thinking, apple has poured so much into their "mhz=myth" marketing that releasing an apolo 1.4+ ghz machine is probably in apples minds(well steve's) a bad move.
it seems that apple HAS faster g4 chips and is preparing to move to g5 really soon, and when they do the MHZ gap will be just about closed(at least with AMD, and everyone knows AMD cpus are for the most part way better than pentium)
perhaps apple is deliberatly releasing slow increases in MHZ, so as to further fuel the MHZ myth monster.
just a thought, but it does seem kind of backwards to go on preaching
"you don't need MHZ to get performance!!!"
and then coming out with a 1.6-2.0 ghz processor
ya know?
also, since apple computers are constantly getting better performance wise(well for the most part) it seems that even though its only a 133 mhz speed increase, it appears to be worthy of a MUCH greater increase, but maybe I'm just buying into the propaganda to much
at any rate, I really wanted a g5, but Now I think I may just settle for a dual ghz g4

? "Mhz/Ghz doesn't equal performance" is not "Mhz/Ghz hurts performance" ?
With a statement like "Mhz doesn't equal performance", apple can simply come with whatever processor they want as long as they can show that they are better (faster)...
Nobody is that stupid, and I mean nobody. Even Scully wouldn't do something that dumb.
<strong>If Apple is sitting on faster CPUs because they want to prove the "MHz Myth", then Steve Jobs has a pea for a brain. </strong><hr></blockquote>
Yeah I agree but I doubt that's the case. I don't think Steve's that dumb.
