It's hard to beat powerdoc's one-second performance, but you can try. Give it 500 million factorials to do and then divide the results by 10. If you get under 1.0, you win. E.g.,
Ordered on 11/8. Original ship date 1/6/06. Actual ship date 12/2/05. Should arrive on Tuesday. I can't wait!!! Very nice upgrade from my dual-1Ghz MDD.

i'm upgrading from a powerbook 12" 1.3GHz ;-)
it seems that in germany it takes a bit longer - i ordered a stock quad on the 24th of october - my dealer received the first batch of quads on friday so it should be here some time next week. as i hear apple ships its machines to its own (direct) customers first and then to dealers. that can explain why the ones who ordered directly at the apple-online-store got theirs already, even before my dealer gets his hands on them.

btw... i did the 500.000.000 thing on my powerbook (12" 1.3GHz)
it took 100 seconds.... :-)
That sounds in the ballpark (10-20 seconds) for what other 1.0 to 1.5 gig G4s are getting. Heh - Quad G5 = 10 times faster than single G4, and 4 times 2.5 = 10.
currently i'm running the apple hardware test. wow that beast is loud in that mode ;-) but absolutely quiet when i boot into os x. really cool. i'll do the benchmarks right after the hardware test.
