The latest Mac features a full metal case with an air-flow system that Apple is very proud of. This case has a very neat'n'tidy look inside, giving great cooling without sacrificing your peace and quiet. See for yourself.
The part I'm very suspicious of is the fact that they don't give the full specs of the other systems they used to benchmark their "fastest pc ever" claim. And what about AMD? Yes, Pentium is more common, but there are Opteron workstations out there. Apple did not pioneer 64-bit processing and having up to 8GB of memory in a computer as they make it out to be. I don't believe that a G5 would be "twice as fast" as an Opteron workstation, like Apple claims their g5 beats the P4 by. I do believe they would match eachother, but the fact that they don't even compare themselves with the only workstation they should have, makes me wonder if their entire benchmarking process was faulty.
[QUOTE]The PowerPC G5 out-shoots the Pentium 4 in a battery of tests. But its in the rough-and-tumble of real-world performance that the G5 really comes into its own shredding the PCs reputation in the process.[/QUOTE:10585672
