comparison to dual G5

I was looking through nVidia stuff (because so far I have liked nVidia better than ATI), and they had a link to a special product from IBM with a really steep setup.

It looks like it is better than the model compared to the Apple G5 computers, at least with dual processors. Does anybody have one like it?



(oh, totally off-topic, to put together some discussion about dual G4s compared to single G5s: the single 1.6 GHz G5 would be faster than than the dual G4 computers except in pure Altivec performance--and it is like a joke, because what part of the computer is pure Altivec?)

    Glad to see quality control on the case. What was wrong with quoting 8 GB ??

    Why the heck does it cost so much? CD-ROM drive, single Xeon...nothing that really explains a price that high.
