Looks like new G5 will be awesome at SETI.

With all those feature and the 1.6Ghz speed they should just rip throught the WUs. That is unless they really fudge up the 32bit performance in order to get better 64bit.

looks good to me, with the exception that it's a mac

oh yeah, I've been lurking around here for a while, just havn't posted anything.

And the price tag ?

The G5 seems to be a mighty beast!
Where is that linux for Mac again?....

Is that going to have the same keyrate as the G4 at RC5??!?!??!?! :Q:Q:Q:Q:Q <<falls over dead on the floor>>

It should be great at SETI too.

For comparison.

1.6 GHz TBird is 1600x3.4 = 5.44 MKeys/sec -- 1.6 GHz G4(G5?) is 1600x8.7=13.92 MKeys/sec!! :Q:Q
