Also note these   were on the very initial release of Boot Camp and the very first Mac   Intel LAPTOPS (not desktops). As an example a  2.16 GHZ  T2600 dual core Macbook laptop ran Windows   Media Encoder at a score of 280, an HP Pavillion 2.16 GHZ  T2600 dual   core scores with a  DESKTOP (with probably a faster hard drive)   scores at 279 (smaller being better). http://www.macworld.com/2006/04/firstlooks/xpbenchmarks/index.php __._,_.___ To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
