I checked it out a little before my previous post - the jury's still out.

Please bear in mind that I'm not, and don't pretend to be, knowledgeable about
computer hardware.  I meant that the G4 seems to have been "somewhat 64-bit" in
that some of the ASM commands for it were 64-bit instructions which were not
available on the G3.  So I'm rather puzzled about how much better the G5 is over
the G4, setting aside raw clock speed.  Unfortunately, as you said, and I noted,
no one seems to have bothered to test it.

Mike.
