You lie. Each Mac is individually sprinkled with fairy dust by Steve Jobs so it defies physics.

 

Actually, it's quite possible. I've seen tests where worse specced machines outperform supposedly better hardware in a real world test. Simply measuring clock speeds and megs of RAM is a good way to get a general impression of how fast a computer is, but things like logic board design have a real impact on performance, and are very hard to gauge without testing.

 

Given the first line of your sig, I'd like to see some benchmarks validating that on a consistent basis.

In my experience, unless you're using absolute bargain basement motherboards and comparing them to top end, then the natural variance between supposedly equivalent components far outweighs extra performance due to a motherboard.

Sorry, I really don't care enough to do the legwork for you.
