Are Apple users beginning to buy into the "MHZ Myth"?

the mhz dont matter but the problem is that intel is releasing processors that are faster than the g4 now mainly that the g4 is updated really slowly, if apple released them like intel does, g4 would be so far ahead, but hte dual 800 has been around for a long time, they need to make large leaps and bounds in processor speads really badly or the g4 wont hold up to the pentium 4 top speed since it gets updated so fast. Apples hardware will be the lower end of computers if they dont keep up and update teh processors better...

I agree... but you have to remember that the processor is just part of the machine. We need an increase in the performance of all the parts. The bus speed (really badly), memory type, graphic cards... etc. are just as important. If apple released a new tower with the same processors but improved bus and other things mentioned... it would be a huge improvement. I know that all none knowledgable people just look at mhz (ghz) but those that know about computers know that other parts are part of the solution.

So hopefully we will see processor jumps Tuesday.... as well as other improvements.
