Mac mini or Dual P3 733?

I've been wanting to get something to fold non stop on, which would be better?

Both??

seriously though...... MHz is the biggest factor in which will be better... AMD procs tend to do better on some WUs than Intel processors.... I don't know much about Mac chips, but I've heard that they're good folders...


Keep on Folding!!

Except when they get Tinker WUs, Tinkers process very slow on Macs.

ouch... didn't know that....

Is it the floating point calcs? (that is why AMDs are better than Intels at the TINKERs, right?)

These two threads explain the issue pretty well.
