heres why this chart is total bs (check further down the page) http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=12140[/quote

I will point out the AMD system had a huge anchor, Windows itself.   Give it a good light weight OS, and then see how it compares with G5s.

"And the Word test is silly, it's not new that certain applics are more optimized on intels than other cpus. "

Right.

IIRC, M$ office tools Mac versions contained unneccessary "busy loops" to slow down the SW at some point.

I predict that in the future M$ office for mac runs on top of x86 emulation.

BTW, AMD is looking to release their K9 in 2H05.  I wonder if it will be pin compatable with the K8s.
