[G4] G5 or G4

[Kunga]

Let's see. 2 x 1.25 G4 = 2.5 GHz @ 32-bits x 2 units = 5 GHz @ 32-bits. 
  $3200

2 x 2 G5 = 4 GHz @ 64-bits = 8 GHz @ 32-bits. $3000

No the math tells me you do not get two dual 1.25 GHz G4s for about the 
same price as a dual 2 GHz G5. More like one dual 2 GHz G5 is like 
getting almost 3 G4's for less than the price of two G4's. Moreover, 
this is only an exercise in comparing processing speeds not taking into 
account the radically faster bus and all the rest of the G5's much 
faster components.
