Id take a dual G5 over most things (SGI or Sun systems excluded)

Athlon 64's are far quicker running 32 bit apps than their 32 bit counterparts so I'd say there's every point in owning them, again, look up some benchmarks. And very soon XP 64 will be released joining a few already available 64 bit Linux distro's. And you might be interested to know that an Athlon FX 55 (single chip) totally wipes the floor with a dual 2.5ghz G5
