RE: Hey Apple Fans G5 has come!
Apples are infact better for video editing and photoshop, they have a superior OS to MS, I dont think so, stability and reliability are about the same for XP and OSX. If they only made more games for the Mac, well the world would be a different place for MS today, but the PC is the superior platform IMO, you can just do more, Linux is gaining ground fast and MS is considering it a serious competitor, thats why MS bought a license to develop Linux..........
Its already out Pete..... Opteron has been out for 2 months, Athlon64 will be out in September.
Please keep in mind that the Athlon64 tests were conducted on beta hardware and server class mobos. The anadtech Opteron tests are on final hardware that you can purchase now.

Rumor has it, that Apple is considering using Opterons, Sun is also considering Opterons. At the moment, any large company that is serious about their server performance is either strongly considering or using Opterons.
Dont get me wrong, right now Intel is ahead of AMD in the desktop market, but it could all change in Septermber when the Athlon64 hits the streets, well have to wait and see.
