Once again this is going off topic but this seems to be the thread for it. One thing that was impressive with the G4 in it's day compared to the P4s of the same time was that you could get similar or better performance from a CPU that used only passive cooling (heatsink). P4s at the time ran crazy hot and we used to joke that Intel would have to start shipping their CPUs with fire extinguishers. Heck with a Prescott P4 80-90 degrees Celsius was considered normal operating temps. Yikes! The core duo based on the Pentium M really saved Intel's bacon.
