"the world's first 64bit personal computer"
ah, i dunno -- that's stretching things a wee bit there, since besides the DEC Alpha, MS shipped a 64bit version of XP in March, and the Opteron & Itanium procs have been out quite a while.
in fact, you've been able to get a dual Opteron box for months. which would have been a much better thing to compare the G5 against than the P4 / Xeon matrix it's lined up against.
Gotta give it to Apple on the pricepoint though -- $3k is a hell of a lot less than I thought they'd release it for. Nice machine there.
