Don't fall into the mental trap of thinking the GHz ratings even compare. This is probably (conservatively) at least as fast as a 2GHz Pentium 4 for all intents and purposes. Any code that makes good use of the Altivec instructions could very well be beyond current x86 performance potential. The DVI port should, just as with other Apple products, connect directly to the DVI port on most modern HDTV monitors. And OS X should properly detect the monitor and offer all of the available resolutions. I've not yet run Linux on a new world Mac so I don't know how well this would work under Linux. I'm very interested in this box and I'll probably get it regardless of whether or not I can run Myth on it.
