How can apple justfy charging over a grand for a 2 gig ish chip with poor componants,while microsoft are going to release the xbox360 with a triple core @ 3.2 ghz powerpc chip, for an estimated £250
Are the mac motherboards that good? is the os that powerful that the maths make sense? I just do not understand it

before im totally roasted this is pure opinion on my behalf, so calm down mac fanboys/girls |
Simple. MS are using a different chip BASED on the PowerPC. It is not, however, a G5. They worked with IBM to create a chip based on the G5 but as its turned out it is simply a heavily modded chip and not a G5. Otherwise apple would be using it. Also this chip could not really be used in a computer, it wouldnt work that well.
Bit cheap to try and make a point about macs based on the xbox
