Also note above that they compared it to the 2.4GHz Xeon, i wouldn't dream how the Xeon 3.06GHz would outrun the G5 completely.

Dude, give it a rest man. Don't make it another PC vs MAC thread.
DUAL G5 is faster at some tasks, slower at others...
If you look at neutral sites they will tell you that.

Re: 3dBoxx

Heck even BoxxTech calls the 3dBoxx a workstation and probably markets it as such.

So when do they expect to ship an Athlon64 desktop?

Or do they just make workstations and servers?

Ouch... $800 for a pair of ECC 1GB DDR333 mem sticks.

And I don't know what OS they're using... sorry.

>Livkid - Isn't XP is for single processor use only, so any duals would require XP Pro.

There isn't that much of a difference between DESKTOP and WORKSTATION. I can runa and launch anything I want on both of them. What the hell are you trying to prove? That Worstation is something completely different? Talk about mute points.
I repeat, this thread wasn't even meant to fuel the war macs vs pcs... so stop getting so freaking defensive over your G5... Geez!
Apple uses slogans for marketing. Doesn't mean that their comp. is first or the fastest...

There is a difference. Companies like Dell sell what they call a workstation but in reality, it is just a desktop. Companies like Sun, IBM, HP, etc. all sell workstations that are UNIX based. You think they are the same because the term workstation has been used incorrectly. You don't know any better.
