    Most of the time I play a '66 Fender Mustang, but I occasionally use a '68
    SG Special when it's called for.

    I think that might be a typo. Why would the power supply consume 6.5A @ :>115v but 7.5A @ 230v ? I suspect the consumption is the same as the G4: :>6.5A @ 115v and 3.5A @ 230v. The wattage consumption should be roughly the :>same at either voltage standard.

    Well, that's PEAK consumption.

    Buteo Lagopus:
    My apple store G5 price is $10k. With dual 2Ghz CPUs/8Gb RAM,
    isn't that overkill for the average mac user?

    In the same sense as one of these <http://www.smb.compaq.com/Subfamilies.asp?FamilyId=1324&ProductLineId=433&oi=E9CED&BEID=19701&SBLID=>
    is overkill for the average PC user. That's why Apple makes the
    eMac/iMac and why HP makes the Pavilion, which are still probably
    overkill for the average Mac/PC user.
