hey guys.

You said that you've actually already done this comparison. But anyways, in this article (Mac Performance In The Raw - Wow! The Intel iMac Is Almost As Fast As The Quad Core Power Mac - How Macworld Pulled A "Not So Fast" One ...) could you please post your results for the quad g5 alongside the other benchmarks in the table? That would put things in perspective a bit. I know that the imac isn't built to replace the powermac but the comparisons should be interesting nonetheless. Thanks and keep up the good work!
