If there has been any increase in the need for computers in general how large would it have to be for that to result in 1 million additional Macs being sold and what would be the cause of such a huge increase in computer uptake? For Apple’s %-age of this increase in sales to be 1 million units tens to hundreds of millions of increased computer sales would have to be accounted for to explain something other than switching. True, that is a major presumpton/assumption. That is one hell on an assumption, that all recent growth is due to Windows switchers.

As a home machine, that’s just ridiculous and for a workstation it’s too generic. The PowerMac has a similar problem, because for $5k you’re not getting a lot of value. Adding processors doesn’t magically make the computer more useful for doing work. If you want a useful workstation, you’re going to cater its hardware to the task at hand, rather than just buy a quad processor machine and couple it with garbage simply because you can. If you just want a machine for computation then you’re not going to buy a workstation, and it’s not going to have a DVD burner, speakers, or a Quadro. Feel the power! It fails decidedly as either a workstation for CAD or a home computer. As configured it’s nothing but a collection of processors with a DVD burner. Who would buy the machine configured like that? It’s not even the absolute cost, it’s the way the cost is distributed. Starting by using Intel’s server line with a dual dual-core configuration in a Dell workstation, and then giving it a worthless workstation video card, then comparing it with a PowerMac with a video game video card. Really? Because it looks a lot more like someone added a bunch of things to the Dell Precision 670 until it cost $5,300. > that is based priced about the same as a dual core Xeon > Now there is this new PowerMac Quad (dual-dual core) Would you like to compare the number of entries on the Top 500? > supercomputers have been built out of PowerMac and > performance, so much in fact that several > For instance the G5 processor gives excellent price for How much is your time worth?
