| Daddo Splat said: lastly the powerpc being more powerful then the pentium on paper why then do macs suck at games with it????? drivers and less optimization???? If it was a better cpu and Iam not saying its not shouldnt mac be the computer platform of choice??? |
Mac is not the platform of choice because for 2 decades it was completely closed off and selectively licensed.
This has little to do with this argument. Also, the G4 is much better then the P3... and I really do not like Mac. It just is what it is. (Edit: the Xbox was more powerful than the GC but not because of the CPU. GC CPU was awesome and is the reason why GC was able to emulate shaders and such w/o the normal requisite hardware.)

I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.
