That's not what Apple is saying:

"Using six of Intel’s tests, the
       500MHz G4 was, on average,
       almost three times as fast as the
       600MHz Pentium III (2.94 times, to
       be exact)."

(I copied that from Apple Web site).
Maybe it is a good test for Hiarcs/Mac... (rating=?).
Question: How much does a G4 cost in the US? What can I build with the same
amount of money using Intel?
