One thing that kind of surprised me, was Safari just seems to scream on it. I suppose that could be that Safari on my "unclean" user account is just bogged down somehow... but I hope that's not the case. Here's another benchmark I used: 5:16 vs 4:32 to compile subversion on my g5 vs intel imac. 2.7ghz vs 1.83 ghz. Those are some nice numbers in favor of the imac.

The iMac Core Duo only had its stock 512 MB and I'm sure that made a difference on some of the tests. It still did reasonably well, though. Yeah...the RAM differences were frustrating to see.
