      Dual-1.8GHz Power Mac G5

      By Henry Norr

      Review summary: The dual-1.8GHz Power Mac G5 delivers 97.5 percent of the performance of the top-of-the-line Power Mac for less than 85 percent of the latter's $2,999 price. Any way you slice it, that's a bargain.

      Verdict: In Bang for the Buck, Better Is Now Best
