I got the cheaper (1.6GHz) G5 just a few weeks ago and I am very happy with it, sitting with my blazing fast PC that I built back in november, and a server with win2k server AND slackware linux, not to mention my old powermac 7100/66 (66MHz). I got that thing when it was new ten years ago and it has been a great computer all along. It sure seemed fast when my family got it! Oh yeah, and I have my 300Mhz P2 Dell, and old 16MHz Mac Performa, my 400MHz imac...
