Keep in mind though, that you are spending that much for PC to compete with the $2000 model G5, so it's definately more bang for the buck.

Imagine for a second (if a consumer PC actually could handle more than 4GB DDR), that you put these same specs into a dual Xeon/P4 (though P4's cannot be in dual setups)- you're spending well over $6,000 for the same 8GB RAM, and 120GB HD (no serial ATA), with at maximum 800mhz FSB.

Even if you could match up a system to compare to the new, off-the-damn-chain 64-bit technology, it would cost you nearly 50% more to do so.

And 6GB/sec bandwidth? No bottlenecks? 8X AGP? HyperTransport?

Ladies and Gentlemen, I do believe we have a new contender to run high-end games like Doom 3 and Half-Life 2.
