How does a 2.0ghz PPC processor compare with a Core Duo?

sorry OP this is completely OT

leekohler you wouldn't happen to be interested in selling it ? (hey, i can hope, can't i)

Nope- you can't have it. I love it. 😉

hmm, well you definitely put the fear in me. Buyer beware though, I guess. Do you know what the PC equivalent would be of a G5 (these days)?

PC equivalent of a G5 ? ...... I don't think you can compare a pile of crap with an awesome computer. 😱

Hi,
Very favorably. A friend has the Mac Pro and yes it's a tad faster at some tasks but overall there is not a huge difference. Admittedly he only has 1 Gb of ram and I have 4 Gb.
I read somewhere that you should have 4 Gb or more to prevent a "bottle-neck"
