G4 dual 1.25Ghz vs P4 3.0Ghz RDR

[Charles Wirth]

I will be pitting the newest G4 dual 1.25 against a 3.0Ghz P4 RDR

Mostly Photoshop and Illustrator disciplines. Other features like web browsing, network transfers, CD burning, and boot times will be compared.

I prompty voided the warrant before I ever plugged it in.

I EAGERLY AWAIT THE OUTCOME OF YOUR TEST

[dafatguy]

FUGGER youn still doin this?

[Charles Wirth]

Yep, I have a illustrator/graphic artist named Tom Reddi designing the tests to be performed to complete every discipline.

This will not be done with small files. This is independant testing for our measuring stick. I will make all data available to you.

I will beat him up for getting this done faster.

[dafatguy]

ne closer to completion bro?

bump for more info

[Charles Wirth]

We are running all G4 1.4 duals now, workload has been huge and barely have time to bench anymore. G5's are comming soon, I know Fry's has a couple single processors in stock.

I wish the G4's folded better

[dafatguy]

they reall dont fold that well?
