Results G5 vs. Dell 650(bold is better)

yes, PC Magazine did think that... almost a year ago. that data is comparing the dual 2GHz G5 to a dual 3GHz Xeon. of course that Xeon setup outperforms the G5, it's 1GHz faster x2.

try comparing the dual 2.5GHz G5 to a comparable dual Xeon setup, like the dual 2.4GHz and the data looks more like this... http://www.barefeats.com/pentium4.html

the 2.5GHz G5 even keeps up with the 3GHz Xeon.
