Quote: Originally posted by Placebo The single 1.8 was kicking the Dual 1.42 in PS, and the new Dual 1.8s should do so even more. Before you get too mad, can you point me in the direction of benchmarks that show a single G5 is faster in PS …

Quote: Originally posted by OldCodger73 This is the G5 line up that should have been there from day 1. A little nitpicking: the prices all across the line are still $200 too high. The dual G5 1.8 should have the ATI Radeon 9600 Pro video card.…

Quote: Originally posted by CosmoNut Won't happen. If there's one thing I've learned about Apple, it's that they never ever EVER release more than one new machine at a time. They don't want two products to share the spotlight. The new iMacs …

Quote: Originally posted by pensieve I don't count the eMac. Seriously. i don't really consider it to be an option when helping family and friends shop around for a computer. It's too 90's. Maybe I should? But CRTs seem so old skool. The pro…

Quote: Originally posted by MrSparkle I have a MDD G4 at work and a G5 at home. The G5 is MUCH more quiet. The difference is huge. The only time the G5 is "Loud" is when you put it in firewire target disk mode. Try it. It's fun. All 9 fans will g…
