This is true, if perhaps not all that relevant for most Mac users, but there are expansion chassis with up to eight slots available. That should be enough for pretty much anyone.
I am a hardcore Mac (I make my living supporting them), but even I have to admit that Apple blew it with the exaggerated G3 speed claims, especially since the thing was fast enough not to require that sort of marketing BS anyhow.
The G3 was optimized for integer operations, Apple/Motorola figuring that that was more important for the majority of the applilcations that people use a Mac for. However, with the G4, they've optimized floating point operations, so the claims may really be valid this time.
