Dan, if the applications being compared were using Altivec optimized code on the Mac and were dependent heavily on this part of the code, then the Mac being 2 times faster is easy to imagine. What they, Apple, don't tell "you" as a consumer is that only a few Applications can gain execution speed from Altivec stuff ... and when it does happen you can often feel that the P4 are slow, which is not the case for the general purpose Applications. Why do you think Apple is not telling the truth? More precisely, what is it that they are dishonest about, in relation to the above mentioned demo? Regards, Hristo
