y didn't anybody like AMD, Intel or Dell sue
them for false advertising? Why didn't some end user find some law firm
to start a class action suit against Apple? If you think you got lied to
about performance maybe you should file a suit against Apple. It's an option.
I think Apple is past G4s and G5s, but many people here still use them every
day. They work so well for some people here that they are passionate about
them. There is so much unfair, untruth, and misleading things said about
Macs everyday, that it's hard to take sometimes. I find it hard to believe
that a dual 2.5 GHz machine couldn't run a DSP box. The Liquid Mix has less
instances at 24bit 192Khz, but 5 seams a little low. Again, I'm thinking
bad drivers or operator error.
Anyways, lets get past the Mac vs. PC speed thing, new Macs are on par for
the moment.
