I have a gig-e DP450 & a DA with Sonnet 1.4 GHZ upgrade. Both cost me about $200 (the DA came Dec 2010). XBench scores for the DA is in the range of 50-55. I just got a late 2005 G5 dual core 2.3 for $208 delivered with 4GB ram & a 6600 video card. Ebay had them for $160-300 last week including some water cooled quad cores. My 2.3 XBenched at 101 out of the box. When you compare the G5 to the G4, even to the DP MDD, there is a huge difference for the money & I'm saying that as a G4 lover & holdout.
