The latest Non-Apple computers that were comparable to the latest Apple computers have always had a higher Mhz number, but that hasn't necessarily meant that they are faster. I read in a magazine an analogy with pizza pies. In a Mac OS pizza parlor there are 7 people in an assembly line each with their own part or ingredient to making the pizza. In a PC pizza parlor there are 20. I believe what they were really talking about were how many parts make up a cycle for each computer. The "pizza" has to go through more people with the PC so it demands a higher Mhz number to get the job done in the same amount of time as it does to power the 7 "people" in the Mac at a lesser Mhz clock speed. Apple's design is just more efficient which would explain the brilliant performance with the lesser amount of Mhz. Today, PC may have made the first step into a faster computer, but you cannot determine how much faster their computer is than an Apple by the Mhz speed. I am not an expert but the way I explained it should let you understand how Apple has stayed above water all these years with those "lesser" speeds. They have been neck and neck speedwise really. What matters is how dependant they are at delivering those promised speeds and performance.
As far as dependability, well that goes to Apple hands down. On an independent research on consumer computers I saw on the news the other night, Apple had the least amount of trips to the repair shop for their computers out of all of the other computer brands out there. Out of the box with Apple you are getting Hardware and Software made by the same company, so compatability runs completely seemless behind the curtains. As far as viruses go, there is only one serious one for mac that should cause alarm. Now, how many are their for PC? I'll let you figure that one out. Apples new OS is UNIX based. I don't know too much about UNIX but from what I've heard it stands for 'solid' with a capital 'S'.
I get my fair share of time on PCs but when I am on a Mac and want to get work done, I don't feel like I am using a machine.
