Choose the G5. I mean, geez. $200 and you get a dramatically better computer. Not dramatically better than the Dual 1.25, but obviously better than the single 1.25.

My xbench numbers went down significant - from 96 to 78, on a Rev B 12 inch PB. The only thing that increased is the User Interface, which may be why everything "seems" faster.

No offense, but you are a filmmaker? And you want to get a PC? Are you kidding?

If you get a PC, you'll most likely use Premiere, which isn't NEARLY as good as FCP, or Avid Express, which is...

Maybe I'm weird...but 100 degrees doesn't seem that hot. 120 degrees, well that's a problem. But 100? Isn't that barely above warm?

You're joking, right? Some of us actual real work--3-D renders, Final Cut Pro, heavy Photoshop work, for example. I don't give a crap if something opens in 4 bounces vs 1 bounce. I care how fast...

Before the G5 benchmarks started to appear, I thought that getting a G5 was a no brainer. But it appears that the 1.6 G5 is actually SLOWER in many operations than the dual 1.25 G4.
