Are there any other advances in the motherboards besides the incremental bump from 2.2 to 2.4 or 2.53 mhz? I mean, the advantage of the Xeons are outweighed by some significant disadvantages, aren't they? HerbVic He should have then at least have compared it to dual 2.4Ghz Xeons (several new motherboards are available now for reasonable prices - server or desktop oriented), or at least a 2.53 Ghz (533 FSB) P4.

If he had wanted to build hot rods, he could have certainly tricked out the Mac with more RAM, fast SCSI drives and a top of the line video card, too. But that isn't a stock configuration and just like a dual Xeon machine, it isn't something most people will ever have. - Allen
