Hi Paul,
Your comparison follows below ...

Mac Pro Quad Core Intel Xeon 2.66 GHz versus Power Mac Dual G4/800 MHz
Mac Pro Quad Core Intel Xeon 2.66 GHz - MA356LL/A - Aug 2006
Power Mac Dual G4/800 MHz - M8361LL/A - July 2001
** This application does not yet run native on the Intel processor
++The processor scores above are based on CineBench 9.5 (email us to request the actual point scores for these machines)
Processor Usage refers to how much of the machine's processing capacity was used to carry out the task. Thus if there was only 25% processor usage, 3/4 of the processing ability of the machine was sitting around waiting for something to do.
A note on performance. Because of the time distance when we tested these two machines, some of the scores above are estimates based on adjusted, original data
If you have follow up questions about interpreting these results contact us again
