2) why is a mac a "more suitable multi-media computer" than an epia or for that matter any other board?
3) you say that your mac can "run any software on ANY playform" (i assume you mean platform) can your mac make my athlon 64 run OS9?
4) i would also like to see numbers stating that a system similar to yours runs more efficently or has better power management.

1) I say it's the ultimate, becuase its mine! See attached pics below. I'm not saying the Mac is better because of software features; it's because of the OS X GUI and OS compatibility. I can use my fingers to access files, folders, applications, and etc. All with ease. Although my touch screen works in both MAC OS X and XP, XP is not touch screen friendly. OS X is!

2) Because the G4 mobo (even in standard configuration) is extremely versatile. Expansion: 1 AGP, 3 PCI, 2 USB, 3 FW, ATA HD, Airport Card (PC Card), audio in, audio out, 4 RAM PC100 up to 2GB, and 56K modem... and that's just on the mobo. EXPANDABILITY and QUALITY!

3) Point being, Macs can run other applications from a plethora of other platforms, whether it be from Win 98, Win 2000, XP, UNIX, LINUX, C, C++, Objective-C, or even JAVA (Xcode, OS X native). Why on earn would I (let alone anyone) even want to use an Athlon 64 to run OS 9? OS 9 is OLD!

4) Unfortunately, I don't have numbers. However, I do have a professional quote from a very reputable company. Since my mobo was unique, I went to OPUS for my power solution. I sent them my mobo with my video card and 512 RAM. This is/was the first power supply for Mac OPUS ever made. After about a week, I was called back by OPUS technician (I believe there's only one and he's a great guy) and we spoke at length about the Mac. He went on to say, and I quote "this mobo is by far the most efficient and impressive he has ever seen or worked on". Now this is obviously not with 1.4GB of RAM, nor is it a G5. This was simply a stated fact from a professionally certified technician. Argue the semantics of it all you want, but it is what it is.
