If your a current mac user the g5 WILL be alot faster then what you have, if
your an Intel user I dont see a rush to buy anything made by apple. If your
a unix geek you might want a G5 just to say you own one and make fellow
geeks unworthy of your presence.
The funny thing is mac users who laugh at PC guys upgrading their hardware
every year are now doing the same thing, except its alot more costly for
them buying complete new machines while PC users just chuck the
motherboard/ram/video card in their old rig. This upgrade cycle of hardware
will eventually kill the mac market because only the very rich can keep up.
What percentage of mac owners are using OSX? What percentage will upgrade to
a current OSX running machine anytime soon?

It will make
g4 machines dirt cheap as
** the herd **
sells them off...
Wasn't it Apple themselves that made the "Lemmings"
commercial featuring people marching off a cliff in unison?
Things change... Oh Well.
I like to think that I think for myself and so far nobody
has made (much) of a case for the G5.
