Clarification of Question by kpsmove-ga on 06 Apr 2004 15:19 PDT

Which chip is the faster/powerful the Pentium 4 or the Apple G4?
I am evaluating which processor is best for my needs. 
I tend to use a lot of educational game CD's, along with a lot
of internet browsing and down loading but no music or videos. I also
use the computer for for mathematical and scientific equations along
with some excel applications for bookeeping.

What do you mean by 'better'?  It's too vague to say for sure.  Do you
want to know which is faster/powerful?  More technologically advanced?
 Best bargain?

Ok thanks for the refocusing want I want to know is,  which one is faster/powerful.

For doing what? Playing games? Manipulating photos? Doing scientific
analysis? Mathematical operations? Strict benchmarks? We desire more
specific criteria.

thanks!

Sorry for the confusion I am evaluating which processor is best for my
needs I tend to use a lot of educational game CD's, along with a lot
of internet browsing and down loading but no music or videos. I also
use the computer for for mathematical and scientific equations along
with some excel applications for bookeeping.

It seems to me that it's more of a mac vs pc question then, rather
than the processors themselves.  Both processors will be quite speedy
for the things you describe.  Depending on the type of game, it may be
that the other hardware in the system have more to do with how "fast"
the game or browsing will be.  I also think that the software used
will have a great impact, for example IE versus Netscape versus Opera.
