We're already in that area, please look at the bug-report for our results.

I know what you mean.  I did get lucky, tho, or more like an omen
of sorts, that a store had the Dual G5 at a drastic 25% discount
not counting the extra RAM they already installed in it.  ;) 
It'll be my last, tho, unless personal circumstances change, and
also Apple decides to ever produce PPC machines again (it's a
requirement that I need bigendian; not going to get into their
politics but I smell something much bigger & sinister than a
falling-out with IBM & Motorola/Freescale...).
