I have no G5s, so no data to compare. Given that those Intels were completed for a few hundred $$$ each, the price/performance of those Intels would far exceed the price/ performance of a G5, even on the off-hand chance that the G5 could turn in "wall-clock" numbers which exceeded those Intels (unlikely, but possible, I guess). --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
