Yeah, don't misquote. It was ME, I tell you ME, that started this part
of the thread...

But more in line with this thread, I agree that photoshop is not the
best app to compare, but there are several magazines that use it as a
comparison. So what would be a good cross-platform benchmark? For raw
processing speed, I guess the byte benchmarks are reasonable, anybody
used this to compare the G3, PPC and PII?Pov might be another good
option for FPU, but I know little about the mac architecture, and so I
don't know what POV has been optimised for, or does each version have
different optimization's for different platforms? But what I would love
to see is a universal 3d benchmark, so we can see how our humble Pc's
measure upto SGI Extreme's...;-)

Cheers, Matthew

P.S. Does the mac have any good 3d accelerators?
