That's why Ingram Labs proved the PowerPC to be 38% faster on average than the equivalent Pentium processor. The only way his 64 MB PC's could be faster is if he is running like 64 MB of virtual memory when he is running Photoshop on his 8 MB 7200. I have a thorough knowledge of DOS and all versions of MS Windows except NT, and I made the switch to the Mac about 3 years ago because I got more speed for the money. I believe this is still true.
