[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 749240, member: 24098"] I don't know that I'd use the term "pwn", but it would certainly be comparable doing like activities. The G5, and in fact, the entire PowerPC series of CPU is fundamentally superior to the x86 architecture. It is unencumbered by the legacy restrictions of the x86 platform and is fully RISC. So, yes, at similar clockspeeds, the G5 would have a certain advantage, but when I think about "pwning" something, in my mind it's like Corvette vs. Honda Civic ;) [/QUOTE]
