"true, but the clock rate of the x86 cpus is so much higher now that they have leaved the ppc behind, even thought the ppc is a tad faster per mhz.

Also the ppc is damn overprized so you also get alot more perfomance for the bucks with a x86.

Sadly but true"
 
Not true atall
 
x86 sells in larger numbers than the PPC so that is a big factor,plus the PPC chip is newer tech than the x86 & newer tech mostly costs more.
 
how about if you turned the sales numbers around with the x86 selling in ppc amounts & the ppc selling in x86 amounts i bet the x86 would cost more then.
 
look at how much dvd players cost when it first came out & cos of the high numbers of sales it now cost the same price as vhs players

its nothing to  do with  loyaties it to do with what ppl want.

AMD Athlon  was faster  than intels for sometime & cheaper as well but intel still was selling more
cpus than AMD.

its you PC ppl that just cant understand why ppl still use Amigas that cost alot  to keep running,

so ill tell you ITS COS WE WANT TO. its not cos we are blind can cant see the speed & cheapness x86.

WE WANT to run PPC why ? cos we want to.

i dont want to run x86 so the price & speed of it means nothing to me.

& i have no loyaties to PPC as i dont have one.

its that some ppls values are just different &  not like the mainstreams values.

mainstream values fast & cheap you have that its the x86 PC, so stop complaining

look at the mainstream music atm, it sucks but alot of ppl like it thats why its mainstream.

i used  to like maistream music in the late 70s  early 80s but for quite some years it makes me sick.

but i can still have the music i like cos there are song writers making the same sort of music i
like & that music used to be mainstream years ago, but just cos the mainstream changes it does not
meen you have to give up on what you like & follow that stream just cos the mainstream is aways the
cheapest & you should not no longer buy the non mainstream muisc that you love just cos it cost more
& takes longer to import.

sorry but just cos the x86 is the cheapest it does not mean it should get every OS put on to it &
everyone should be only on x86 you cant have your cake & eat it
