[QUOTE="Avalon, post: 48919, member: 5184"] At least this is true until OS and software will be converted to 100% 64bit applications, because this is a major advantage of the G5. BTW, this is also true for actual AMD 64bit CPUs... as long as Windows is 32bit, there's not much advantage but the clock speed... The PowerMacs also have the advantage of the faster system bus, which can make a major difference in overall performance. So the iMac G5 will definitely not be as fast as the single CPU PowerMac G5. But I'm pretty sure it outperforms any iMac G4, by more than 16% (overall performance, not raw CPU performance). What really is a big disappointment is the nVidia FX5200 graphics...why did they put the slowest nVidia chip in it?!? [/QUOTE]
