G5 vs. Mac Pro
I'm seeing what seem to be some decent deals for G5s on ebay. Can someone tell me a couple of the differences between the G5 and the Pro? I know the G5 has the Power PC processor as compared to the Pentium but that's about it.

Thanks.

1. You can also use Windows on an Intel machine (if you want)
I think some programs like Photoshop will run better on a G5 than under Rosetta on an Intel. I'm guessing that Adobe has a newer version of PS that corrects this.

Here's a shootout between two comparable models:

2. Thanks
How about number of USB and firewire ports. I hate running out of those things.

3. Here's a site that shows the specs for every Mac ever made:

Of course, you can always get hubs to increase the number of USB and firewire ports, but I know what you mean.
