BOGUS NUMBERS!!! I CALL SHENANEGANS!!!
The PowerMac G5 numbers both show *128* megs of RAM--I've got more memory in my *iBOOK* then that! I'd love to see those numbers with RAM maxed out on all systems--give those namby-pamby AMDs a run for there britches against 8 GIGABYTES. Freakin' hackware.

Thats 128meg of Video RAM. Why they showed that number over system RAM is beyond me.

512MB RAM on the G5 MacWorld ran benchmarks on. 1GB RAM on the PC's PCWorld ran their benchmarks on. Going from 512MB RAM to 1GB RAM makes a lot of difference. It's not even a valid benchmark. If I ran the Athlon 64 on 256MB RAM, I bet you the G5's are like 10 times faster.

The 1.8 GHz G5 didn't have a Radeon 9800 Pro in it... hence the drastically lower Quake III scores. Macworld did the benchmarks, and the numbers were almost identical to the macworld review and they stated only the DP 2.0 GHz G5 had the Radeon 9800... so that is pretty jacked.

Also, the slashdot headline for this was "G5 trounced by Athlon64."
The only "trouncing" I saw was in MS freakin' word. Which is plenty fast on my old iMac 350  Do I really care how well MS word runs more than I care about Quake or PS? (you didn't provide a link, but IIRC the G5 beat everything but the faster Opteron in the PS test).

Be happy.

I always love how FCP is never even considered, not even as a side note just showing that G5s can do a great job encoding/video editing.
