I still haven't got a Mac result, but I'll post anyway. It's a cheap but solid rig built for electronics design. The important specs are:
AMD Athlon 64 3800+ rev. F (2,4GHz single core, Socket AM2)
Gigabyte GA-M55S-S3 (nForce 550)
2GB DDR2-800 4-4-4-15
Western Digital 250GB SATA2 with 16MB cache
The time to calculate the radial blur in CS2 is 1:06. No dual core goodness, but it's no slouch either. Gets the job done in the single threaded apps it will be used for.

Man thats sick!! I have a PC with dual 3Ghz Xeons and I thought the 29.6 seconds it got was very fast but now I feel I have an antique. LOL.
Ok, because of this MacBytes article I tried again. This was my result, a while back:
And now I clocked in at 45 seconds on the same MacBook, still running CS through Rosetta...

Wow, that's QUICK! I believe my old Power Mac Dual 867 did the test in like 1:40 or so. I can't wait to see what the Intel Macs will do with Photoshop running natively!
Tried again, with the spanking new Photoshop CS3 beta universal binary today: 35 seconds.[After the 10.4.8 rosetta updates:] And now I clocked in at 45 seconds on the same MacBook, still running CS through Rosetta...
