Compaq G4 vs Apple G4 vs Amiga1 G4 vs Pegasos
« on: September 24, 2004, 01:03:17 PM »
Hi
Compaq have new G4 product with 3.6 GHz XEon.
Does this product have better price/performance ratio than AmigaOne G4 XE?
What about Pegasos II or Apple G4 products?

Compaq G4

As far as I know Compaq/HP is Intel server G4 which has little to do with IBM/Motorola PowerPC G4 I'm afraid.

Yes/No.

You're comparing apples with oranges... That compaq thing is not close to a desktop machine...
Anyway is the only way

Kinda answered your own question there, as the Xeon is just an Intel processor (that features dual cores to make it suitable for server uses).
