"the world's most powerful coumputer"
Is it me, or am i missing something here?? I'm NOT about to believe we've all been beaten by a mac (;)) but i think i remember reading something about how it was an unfair test or something.

However, in the smallprint at the bottom it says the test was independant.

Anyone care to throw some light on this?

I don't remember if this (http://spl.haxial.net/apple-powermac-G5/) link is in the article, but that page has lots of information about the benchmark tweaking and stuff that they did.
This has been brought up tons, if you search you'll find loads of threads about it.
