Hector said:at that time the ceo of motorola was the current ceo of AMD, and he totally screwed over the ppc production and was responsible for the 500MHz wall.
funny thing is my amd pc is faster than jiggys, yet i use my mac 90% of the time.
Yeah, I think most of us would certainly agree that raw power was never one of Apple's key selling points. The systems were always fast enough, but the focus was always on the interface and smooth integration of software and hardware components.
EDIT: jiggy appears to have got himself banned...anybody else ready to play devil's advocate in the Intel vs AMD discussion?
