    Maybe they will stop those annoying bloody adverts claiming it is the most powerful desktop PCs in the world (which I'm sure must be illegal now )

    Yeah I'm really impressed with the AMD chips, I'm just waiting to see some benchmarks in a true 64bit environment with at true 64 bit application. The future looks bright though, especially when they start scaling those bad boys up!

    Most people who like Macs won't believe those figures any way. The G5 is a fantastic looking and has decent performance. But its in no way worth the money it costs. For anyone thats serious about performance/cost AMD has always been the way to go.
