Wow. 64-bit architecture with a 1GB bus, point-to-point system controller, up to 8GB RAM, serial ATA, PCI-X, 8X AGP, FireWire 800, USB 2.0, front-panel ports, TOSLINK in/out, standard SuperDrive and more. And I guess those comparisons with dual 3Ghz Xeons are utter fabrication. Yep, piece of junk for sure. Much better top-end, new-computer values are available ... where again? You must have really, absolutely hated all of the recent G4s, to say nothing of anything older, because the G5 Mac is the most important product announcement from Apple since the original PowerPC, or at least the original G3 announcements and it has nothing to do with the CPU speed, just as those previous generations didn't. Geez, you're making sound like an Apple apologist. But if I'd bought a new G4 anytime in the last few years I'd have some real envy right about now. -David -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
