I haven't seen the movie since that quicktime player only plays sound, but I still must point this out: Viewing to machines running the same applications means nothing if you can't trust the tester to have optimized the test equally for both machines. The questions you have to ask yourself is do you trust Apple to test in a fair way, perhaps those Xeons are really 1 GHz? (Don't give me any shit about showing frequency on screen). I don't trust the tester. Supposed you consider the results to be credible, is the test show performance in the applications that matter to you? Even without seeing the movie I can bet my behind that they don't test applications that show performance that matter to me. I'd even guess they don't show applications that matter to many on this forum. /Regards Albert
