Note also that the Athlon64 systems use Hypertransport, which is to my understanding what gives the G5 its memory bandwidth. (Feel free to correct me.)
Sorry but this is incorrect. The G5 only uses Hypertransport as a interconnect to PCI-X. The G5 System controller has a built-in 128 bit 400 Mhz Memory Controller the supports DDR. HT is not involved in the memory path at all.
Around here (Colorado), electricity is seven cents a kilowatt hour.
Well welcome to Northern California where our electricity is currently 24 cents per kilowatt hour! Now here we are talking ($36.69 x (24/7) or $126.14 per year per machine. Apple doesn't sell a dual 1.6 Ghz machine, but if you still use your comparison numbers and prices we get a payoff in less than 4 years. (and if you really were just doing CAD you wouldn't need to Superdrive or Modem which cuts the price difference now down to $270 or almost 2 years!!)
In otherwards, before a/c costs are taken into account the machine will pay for itself in just over 2 years and for the remaining 1 to 2 years it is used it will be saving the company even more money.
By these numbers alone, I would say that buying a PC in expensive electricty areas of the country is a short sided mistake that will hurt your company or institution.
Actually I wondered about this too. Usually the case is that all stores have sales on the "Pepsi/Coke" at the same time. I discovered that this is actually because the bottlers who provide the grocery stores lower their price for a week. So the see-saw competition that you see between Pepsi and Coke is really between the Pepsi and Coke bottlers. Some stores add an addition discount to this but the bulk of the markdown is not from the stores themselves.

You do have a choice besides the "Republicrats and Demicans." Join the LP and work for smaller government and less taxes.
Here is a portion of the data, but basically it shows that there never was a "surplus" as the federal debt has been increasing ever year since 1957.

The Libertarian Party runs a candidate in just about every district for US House Members and US Senate Members. They would never support anything like this and they would vastly reduce the size of government as well (a great second benefit). Change requires action on your part.
Randy Overbeck - What if Congress were measured not by the laws they passed but by the laws they repealed? After all we are told countless times that we are the freest country in the world.

You are exactly right and that is why "Small Government is beautiful" to borrow a phrase from Carla Howell.
If you are not already you should be a memeber of the LP party

The surplus was projected, it didn't exist yet.

Untrue. We had not had deficit spending since 1997.

Join the Libertarian Party. We are doing exactly what you suggest. You can change things but it requires action.
