	Power Macintosh Dual G5 versus Dual Opteron
		Xicomputer's Opteron case was taller than the G5.
		While the G5's case had 9 fans, the Opteron's case had 5 fans (two on the two CPUs, two in the PCI bay and one in the power supply).
		The Opteron case was surprisingly quiet but not as quiet as the G5 case.

	G5
		The G5 was publicly announced in June 2003 by Apple Computer.
		G5, a marketing moniker, is Apple's term for the processor called PowerPC 970, manufactured by IBM.
		The technology behind the IBM PowerPC 970 (based on IBM's POWER4 design paired with a 128-bit, 162-instruction SIMD unit for Apple's use) and that of the Power Macintosh G5 is cutting edge for a desktop system as of its introduction.

	Will The Power Macintosh G5 inspire the market? ExtremeTech - Find Articles
		The question whether or not the new Power Macintosh G5 really is the "worlds most powerful personal computer" as Apples' marketing claims is a moot point.
		Macintosh enthusiasts will be very happy to have something to show off, and the Power Macintosh G5 should at any rate be the Photoshop Dream Machine, especially if Adobe recompiles the program to support the 64-bit architecture.
		Strategically speaking, the switch to the IBM-supplied G5 processor was an essential step for Apple, and at the very least it should provide a desperately needed speed-boost to the Macintosh platform.

	Power Mac G5 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Power Mac G5 was introduced with three models, all sharing the same physical case, but differing in features and performance.
		Each processor in the Power Mac G5 has two unidirectional 32-bit pathways: one leading to the processor and the other from the processor.
		The memory in the Power Mac G5 is Dual-Channel DDR2 PC4200, with support for ECC memory.

	General Overview
		The G5 can be opened in the space it sits in, assuming you have room to the side from which to access the machine.
		Clearly, sticking a piece of paper to the air intake on your G5 is not recommended as a general practice; I had a helper and the paper was on the front of the unit for about one second.
		The G5 is 20" tall with the handles, which add approximately 3" to the overall height.

	Power Macintosh - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Power Macintosh, or Power Mac, is a line of Apple Macintosh workstation-class personal computers based on various models of PowerPC microprocessors that was developed, marketed, and supported by Apple Computer from March 1994 until August 2006.
		The first models were the Power Macintosh 6100, 7100, and 8100, which offered speeds ranging from 60 to 110 MHz.
		The Intel-based successor of the Power Macintosh is named the Mac Pro, in line with the renaming of their professional notebooks from PowerBook to MacBook Pro.

	NewsForge \| Review: The new Power Macintosh G5
		Apple's new 64-bit Power Macintosh G5 is aptly named: it has power to burn.
		The G5 has three PCI slots, versus four in the G4 towers, two hard drive bays versus four in the G4, and room for only a single optical drive versus two in the G4.
		Apple has advertised the G5 as the "the world's fastest PC," but current marketing verbiage refers to "one of the fastest PCs ever built." Apple claims that the G5 smokes Pentium 4 and Xeon processors in any number of benchmarks and application tests.

	Ars Technica: Power Macintosh G5 noise problems continue -- (3/2004)
		It's been about 6 months since the Power Mac G5 was introduced, and Apple still can't seem to produce a decent power supply for its dual processor models.
		This may be partially caused by other faulty electrical connections and components, but the power supply has been the prime suspect for reasons that will become apparent in a moment.
		But in a quiet environment (e.g., a home office) with a G5 on the desk instead of under it, the chirping noise is very audible and will slowly drive you insane.

	Computer Arts - Dual 2GHz Power Mac G5
		Apple’s launch of the new G5 Power Macintosh ushers in a new era of supercomputing, putting raw power in the hands of everyday users and promising to significantly boost the performance of Photoshop, Final Cut Pro and 3D packages.
		The new G5 processor will carry on increasing in speed — by the middle of next year we could see a 3GHz chip, and there are plans to take the speeds even higher.
		When you consider that the G5 is such a solidly built computer, it looks like being a very good long-term investment that will speed up your workflow and reduce those tiresome Photoshop progress bars.

	creativepro.com - Under the Desktop: Looking at the Next Generation of Macintosh
		The new G5 processor architecture will improve performance with graphics apps through three primary changes to the older G4 layout: faster clock speeds, support for more memory, and a faster and better way of moving data between the processor and memory.
		As I mentioned last fall, the G5 processor uses a variety of ways to boost its clock speed, the rate that operations are performed by the processor and the other components of the system.
		The G5 supports a 64-bit bus running at speeds up to 1-GHz (the frontside bus speed depends on the speed of the processor), and according to industry analysts, this will be the fastest such bus offered in a desktop system for the rest of the year if not longer.

	Optimizing for the Power Mac G5
		The U3 system controller (which connects the G5 processor to the rest of the computer’s components) is a custom chip created using the same IBM 130-nanometer technology as the G5 processor itself.
		Power Mac G5 computers currently have either four or eight DIMM slots, which enables them to hold up to 8 GB of physical memory with today’s 1 GB DIMMs.
		The gcc 3.3 compiler includes a number of changes that are necessary to optimize code for the Power Mac G5 platform, including new compiler flags and much stricter adherence to the established language specifications than previous versions of gcc (see Technical Note TN2086: Tuning for the G5: A Practical Guide for details).

	Will the Power Macintosh G5 Inspire the Market? eWEEK - Find Articles
		When it comes to setting up 3D production environments, the Macintosh platform still is the poor relative (although Mac OS X has done a lot to increase its credibility in these markets.)
		The other interesting example is servers: Apple's own Xserve architecture has been quite widely acclaimed for its robustness and ease of use, but it has been a hit mainly with businesses that already have adopted Macintosh servers.
		If the company is right, then the Macintosh may really have leapfrogged the competition, particularly in terms of transition from existing environments.

	Power Macintosh G5 - Mac - Macworld UK
		Apple was uncharacteristically optimistic and open about future G5 speeds, which backfired on it when chip-maker IBM failed to reach the promised 3GHz figure this summer.
		The original G5 chip architecture was 130 nanometres wide, but the new range is based on an even smaller 90-nanometre set.
		Aside from the amount of installed memory and the size of the hard drive, the specs for the dual-1.8GHz G5 unveiled in June 2004 and the one introduced in November 2003 are nearly identical.

		This is depressing since the G5 has a bus speed that is about 5-6 times as fast as the best G4's -- I was expecting a much bigger leap with the dramatic change in architecture.
		The good news for me personally is that until the developers tune their apps to the G5, they are not going to make my iBook look too sick.
