You are assuming that faster hardware leads to much higher ratings. There are many reasons for the improved perfomance of PC's, and IMO, for most programs, hardware is the least important factor. Algorithmic improvements are much more vital to improved performance than hardware. Just my 2 cents. Regards, Matt
