(NOTE: Adobe
Photoshop CS is NOT Universal Binary and therefore performs
"weakly" on the Intel Core Duo machines. This will be true of any
non-UB application you will be using on an Intel Mac. Some non-UB
applications won't work at all. This includes Apple's Final Cut
Pro, Motion, and other Pro apps -- which are supposed to go UB by
the end of March 2006.)
Compare how the
G4 PowerBook does in comparison to the MacBook Pro on both
Photoshop graphs.

NON- UP 3D
OPENGL APPS (Note how poorly the MacBook performs when the 3D game
is NOT Universal Binary. The PowerBook G4 beats it.)
