[QUOTE="bfx, post: 197664"] [url=http://www.mediaworkstation.com/articles/viewarticle.jsp?id=36312] [color=blue] Yes. [/color] [/url] <--- click The 2.3 would be a bit faster than the reference 2.0 system - but less so than the 2.3 to 2.0 ratio might seem to indicate. Considering refurbed prices $2149 vs. $2799 at the Apple Store the Quad is definitely worth considering. Reading further into the article it's noted that Intel Powermacs will need more than dual 3.6 ghz Xeons to equal a G5 Quad's raw speed. So perhaps the whole Intel factor can be disregarded. Hard to say unless one knows Apple's plans for ultimate performance in an Intel PowerMac. And I suspect even those may change from whatever is currently planned as Mac power users demand more performance. bfx bfx [/QUOTE]
