Who's first with 1GHzDP running on their desktop?

Someone saw the new G4s up and running at Apple Store in Tysons Corner, VA., so FedEx is obviously playing Santa in some places.
Please: whoever actually first gets a DP 1Ghz home and running give us a report... Compare it to the DP 800: can you feel the difference in OSX?
What about the new 12x SuperDrive: what's burning like?
Make me drool, please!!!

I'm not absolutely sure, because of the way that German site presents the % improvements, but it looks like for a lot of real-world specs, the 1GHzDP may be performing closer to 33% faster than a 800MHzDP (instead of the 25% faster one might expect).
I'd still like to know how responsive the Finder is in OS-X: whether it's finally closer to the instantaneous we've all been waiting for

Did you notice how badly X got slammed by 9 in the 2D & 3D graphics area? And those Q3 scores. It was nice to see X doing better in something's but some very key area's it was no competition. 9 just spanked.

If you take the values of graphics performance into account I would surley say you won't notice any big improvement.

Looks like Apple lied again. the 115 frames per second in Quake III look like they are from OS9 and not OSX.

OS Xouch.
Man, even the dual Gigs in OS X is 50% of the 350 G4 in OS 9 at 2D rendering. I knew quartz was slow.. but damn.
