I would like to see tests on a range of software though. What software would you like to see? I think the Worldbench 5 test is a good overall indicator as it tests 15 applications in 13 different scenarios. That doesn't expalin the discrepencey of a 4 core Mac pro only equaling performance of a Dell two core PC -- FROM the article you sent. Which article? I posted quite a few at this point. What I am interested in --and really have no data-- is how fast are   Windows apps running in WINE?, that is, Windows apps with no Windows   and just a small "compatibility layer". Please pass on any results for that you find.  It's kinda moot at this point because basically all the articles I've seen say the same thing, XP runs the same or slightly to moderately faster on Mac Intels with the beta version of Boot Camp. I thought I'd heard of another Boot Camp type app that will optimize gaming more specifically for Mac Intels, but I forget he details as gaming does not generally appeal to me. __._,_.___ To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
