But this is mostly floating-point stuff, isn't it?  I have never found
anything useful to do with floating-point operations, neither in chess
software nor in other programs.  Most of the CCC readers are more likely
to be interested in integer performance, and I'm afraid the G5 will not be
very impressive there.

I hope I am wrong, though.  My next computer will almost certainly be a G5.
