<< Yeah the problem is on that page, they are trying to show that the dual 800 G4 is 87% faster then the p4 1.7 all around. >>
well i admit it's a little misleading if you don't look past the large text, but if you actually read it, you'll find that they're talking about graphics editing.
Very, Very Fast.
The new Power Mac G4 with PowerPC G4 processors demonstrates its speed against the 1.7GHz Pentium 4. Quite simply the fastest personal computer ever built to run graphics applications, this Power Mac G4 rips through tasks like Gaussian blurs, lighting effects, rotations and color conversions. In tests involving 9 Photoshop actions, the new 733MHz system is 33% faster, the 867MHz system is 58% faster and the dual 800MHz Power Mac G4 creams the 1.7GHz Pentium 4 by a blistering 83%.**
