Quite cool when the cooling system breaks and the liquid leaks out... that was that computer... |

1. It has much longer pipelines compared to the G3/G4 (which has a 7 stage pipeline) which means that a lot of the "extra" MHz you get with a G5 are just spent keeping the pipeline filled. What this means is that a 2GHz G5 is not twice as fast as a 1GHz G4.

Yeah as opposed to when a fan breaks *cough* *cough* I wonder where I heard that alot of users using machines of a particular brand suddenly got their CPU cards burned up due to failed fans. |

Of course a fan won't last forever, but rather buy a new CPU than a whole computer when the water leaks out. The optimal would be if everything could be used with passive cooling. |
