Just curious. Why one is faster? Let's say... use for graphic/video editing.

Macbook Pro:
2.33GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
3GB memory
160GB hard drive @ 5400 rpm
ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 graphics with 256MB

PowerMac G5:
Dual 2.7GHz
3GB memory
250GB hard drive @ 7200 rpm
NVIDIA GeForce 6800 Ultra DDL with 256MB

Also, what about the upcoming new macbook pro with OX 10.5? how is that baby going to perform compare to this PowerMac. Any experts ?
