PPC vs x86 speed/performance comparions?

[dammy]

and where do you fine a core2 for under $200? Lowest price I can find locally is $350!

Pricewatch is your friend.

$207 for a year old revision, riiiight.Quote:

When I linked that page, it was under $200 with shipping. Prices go up and down a couple of dollars, but it was under $200 and you never specify how old the series had to be.

EDIT: I think in INTEGER mulithreaded operations we must be at about the same speed, but in video encodings like H.264 and renderings I'm about 2x faster..
maybe thats because of 4 altivec units that my machine has..(2 altivecs per cpu)

What video cards are you using in the two machines?

but renderings have nothing to do with graphic cards!!!
well in preview mode or realtime FXs preview like some from imovie yes. but exporting to dvix,H.264 or any other format has NOTHING to do with GFX cards..
