Manufacturer's product description
Start your next project on the ultimate creative platform. The Power Mac G5 offers lightning-fast performance, built on G5 processor running at up to 2.5GHz. A 64-bit processor with two double-precision floating-point units, two integer units and support for symmetric multiprocessing, the G5 combines an optimized Velocity Engine with a superscalar, super-pipelined execution core that can execute more than 200 simultaneous in-flight instructions. This high-bandwidth core has over 12 discrete functional units that process massive amounts of instructions in parallel. The PowerPC G5 offers a seamless transition to 64-bit performance: Current 32-bit code - such as Mac OS X, the Mac OS 9 Classic environment and existing applications - runs natively at processor speed. With no interruptions to your workflow. And no additional investment in software required to take advantage of 64-bit power, period. The PowerPC architecture was designed from the beginning to run both 32-bit and 64-bit application code. This enables the PowerPC G5 processor to run applications natively for an immediate performance boost.

Advantages Powerful, Aesthetically Gorgeous Disadvantages Price, Soon to be out of date, Big
...Operating Systems, and might make the transition painless, the current PowerMac only runs Mac OS X. If you need a fast Mac now with windows, look at the recently launched iMac or MacBook Pro.
They have 64-bit processors (generally faster than 'current' standard computers), dual screen graphics card outputs (allowing for 2 monitors to be connected if you wish), firewire 400 and 800 (a dying connection now but good for old ipods and fast external devices), 3 USB 2.0 ports (absolute standard external device connection interface) and a network card (for connecting to your own LAN or via cable to the internet) as standard.
It comes in varying processor speeds although its quite difficult to compare PowerMacG5 processor speeds to anything else, for many reasons, they run a different Operating System (not Windows) and the chips are now standard...

Advantages looks, speed, graphics stability Disadvantages lack of available software
....
To put it bluntly this is an amazing machine with great specification, no matter what model is chosen, but for those loyal to a windows built PC then I would suggest a 64bit AMD XP PC from such reputable sellers such as www.scan.co.uk or www.evesham.co.uk, who offer great windows PC's but no Apple units.
The current price for the G5 is ~£999 for lower models, but for custom built models prices up to and including ~£2500 can be reached.
The only wholesaler on the Internet that I actually trust for apple computers is apple themselves, who offer great workmanship and warranty....

Advantages fast, powerful, upgradable, easy to use, Disadvantages big and heavy to get it home!
...Work. This is cheaper and well worth a look - its also compatible with Microsoft Word.
I love mine. It takes everything i throw at it with a pinch of salt. Nothing is too demanding. I'll be enjoying it for many years to come. And when i get that extra RAM the computing world will be my Oyster!
