thanks bud :) didnt expect a story but it helped clear the fog, thanks :)
ive been fighting sleep to try and figure this out, i guess im more of a
hardware geek than software well supposedly the g4 had a 9.3 ohh gosh what
was it anyways it was like floating point operations a second or something
that doesnt quite sound right tho. but the g4 claimed 9.3 so this should
be like 18 or something! damn one g4 should be nearly equal to dual p4
maybe.. hmm oh well back to the research :-p looks like im getting a g5
laptop! when they come out ofcourse :D
