if only ibm&motorola would get their ass into gear and start increasing the external bus speed a little
and take advantage of DDR

PowerPC has always beaten the x86 when the external clock speed was roughly the same, now they have lost the plot
i suppose they are still good for some tasks but probably not so good for graphics intensive tasks and games

its a shame

but wait for the 970! i would like to see the performance of that compared to a pent. IV
