Hello, With the release of Apple's G5 series last week, I came here -- after some time -- hoping to read people's comments and opinions about it. To my surprise, the topic doesn't seem to have been discussed. I thought that Apple's claims to have released the first 64-bit personal computer would have at least caused some minor ripples. I'm not at all knowledgeable on computer hardware and architecture. I would have thought that the G5 would be a very good processor for bitboard-based programs. Is this really so, or is it -- like Apple's speed benchmark results posted on their Web site -- illusory? Also, regarding Chess programming, does the G5 have any advantages over the G4, apart from raw speed? Thanks to anyone who answers. Cheers, Mike.
