How fast is the world's fastest personal computer? The new Power Mac G5 throttles past both the fastest Pentium 4 and a dual-processor Xeon workstation when tested using industry standard SPEC CPU 2000 benchmarks SPECfp_base2000 and SPECint_base2000 measure the speed of a single task either a floating-point calculation or an integer calculation executing on a single processor. The metrics, which recognize multiple processors, more accurately demonstrate the performance of a dual processor system. The results should make your pulse race just a little bit faster.
PowerMac G5 > > - 184 pin DDR SDRAM DIMMs > - unbuffered > - 2.5V > - 8 byte
> - non-parity
> - DDR333 (PC2700) for the 1.6GHz PowerMac G5
> - DDR400 (PC3200) for the 1.8 and 2GHz models of the PowerMac G5
> - DIMMs must be installed in "pairs" (the PowerMac G5 has a 64 bit
> memory bus ... so it takes two, 32 Mb DIMMs).
> - DIMM "pairs" must be matched in size / capacity (i.e. Can't match a
> 512MB DIMM with a 256MB DIMM, both must be the same).
> - CL support = 2, 2.5, 3, 4 & 5. (Can have two different DIMM speeds
> (even among pairs), but performance will default to the slowest module
> per pair).
