Thats like comparing apple's and oranges. A Mac Mini 1.42GHz vs. a P4
2GHz isn't a fair comparison (one's a G4 processor and the other's a P4
processor). Now I don't know details off-hand, but Apple's website might
have some comparisons where you see boosts in numbers on the g4's vs.
the pentiums, thanks to altivec numbers and what not. Ultimately,
ghz-to-ghz there's a number difference, but is it as powerful? Probably.
Hard to say...
