Subject: Mac G4 versus Pentium III

Author: Mark Andreoli

 I finally have to buy a computer and stop using the one at work :?)(133 hz/16
ram).It doesn't have power or memory! I remember reading once that the faster
the better if you are going to run Fritz 6,hiarcs,rebel off of it.

  So "experts" is the G4 really that much faster than a pentium III? Will I
notice the differnce if Fritz 6 is running off a G4 when compared to a Pentium
III?How much Ram will I need If I am running lots of applications at one time
only to alt/tab in and alt/tab out.

  The two computer "kings" at my office bought the mac g3 a long time ago
instead of a pentiumII. They swear that it is a better system. (and faster)
  Well is it.??Please think in chess software terms!Thanks ! I am looking for
opinions besides those from my colleagues.
