Why would I say that? If you have evidence, and not just some anecdotes, then post them. Your assertion seems to be that the motherboard used in Macs gives a significant performance boost outweighing the variance between components. Mine is that different chip sets don't seem to matter all that much, based on a number of motherboard tests I've seen- just type 'motherboard round-up' into Google for various links.

I see you've edited your original post and added 'doing your legwork', but it's your assertion in the first place. If you have seen benchmarks to the contrary then post them up. If not, then go for the second part of your sig.
