I am turning envy-green
worker201:
I went up to the oceanography department office a few minutes ago to steal some candy from the receptionist. UPS had just delivered 2 Apple boxes, and I wanted to see what they were.
2 G5 2.5GHz Quads
Dual-core dual-processor, with 4 GB cache total
Let me tell you, those things are impressive even when they are still in the box. I guess somebody had a shitload of grant money to spend this year. I know one of the guys who got one, and I carried it down to his office for him. And I contemplated running out with it. Just take the thing home, put it in the car, and go. Cuz that's the only way I could ever get one of those things.

Grab me one too :P

Processor Manufacturer Motorola
Processor Upgradability Not upgradable

But an Opteron won't run OSX!
WMD:
The G5 is made by IBM. And, these latest models (dual-core) will bring more performance-per-MHz than the previous ones - 1MB L2 per core, and faster RAM (which can actually be utilized.
