Apple's Dual 2GHz By The Numbers

Posted by timothy on from the schmohkin' dept.

mallumax writes "ComputerWorld has an exciting review of Apple's Dual 2GHz machine." An excerpt: "It's clear from two weeks of testing that Apple's new Power Mac G5 dual 2-GHz machine is the fastest thing the company has ever produced. And while you can debate benchmarks until eternity, it certainly appears poised to meet or beat anything now out on the Windows side."

    Hah. It cost me about $1100 to buy a dual motherboard, two Athlon MP 2000+, 1GB of ECC DRR RAM, a Lian Li case and an Enermax supply.

    None of the above components are cheap, and still the price isn't near what you said. Of course the hard disk, CD drive, video and sound cards aren't included, but I'd have to fill the case with drives and buy the most expensive video card to get near that.

    Of course mine isn't 64 bit, but I didn't see Opteron motherboards being sold anywhere when I was buying the components.
