Comeone now, that's a load of crap. To get a good package like you get with a G5 set up, that is a well built machine, with fast, top-of the line processors, a state of the art OS, state of the art applications, your gonna shell out as much or more than a G5.
Generally faster? I have yet to see a conclusive benchmark, and all the ones that show the G5 slower, make it only marginaly so. So don't give me that crap.
I use a PC everyday, I have an Athalon XP 2100+ , It ain't as fast as my dual 800Mhz G4, Sorry, it just isn't. And as for the "amount of software" available, I have yet to find something (save for some games) that I can't do on my mac.
PC's are generaly a hedache, Macs allways work. Spare me the BS.

how strange, I have an Athlon XP 2100+ too. It cost me around 500 bucks. My 733 PowerMac G4 cost me 1200. I guarantee that the PC does EVERYTHING faster than my 733. Sure I like using my 733 better... in fact I hate my PC. But for the price you get much more speed out of a PC.
On your athlon are you running XP? That slowed my Athlon to a crawl compared to 2K.

My 2100 was 400 bucks. It's runing 2k.
My dual 800 box is runing panther. My 2100 is nice and all, it's not slow. But the dual 800 is clearly faster, and overal a more efficeint machine.
My work flows faster on it..

Yes. Exactly
Faster procs dont mean shit if the code running on it is shit. OSX is written well. Windows is not.

are you trying to say that your dual 800 was only 400 bucks??? I don't know what you are fighting about. I made it clear that PC's were faster, when it comes to price to speed. Then you fight me, then you say that your PC was 400 dollars. The dual 800 was never less than 1500 from Apple. Again, wut are you fighting about?
