Although I've found Apple to be on the leading edge of creativity, until the
G5s, they (to me) have always lagged behind PCs in hardware speed. The G5s
change that and may even reverse it to some degree. They are truly on the
bleeding edge of technology.

Don't be so sure. I think my iMac has a UATA 66 HD and the new Serial ATA
drives operate 2.27 times faster. Not quite the 6x difference in bus speed,
but still very significant. (That does not consider rotational latency or
seek times.) If your HD is UATA 33, then the speed increase is 4.55 which is
almost identical to the bus speed increase. Either way you're probably going
to see a huge performance increases with any G5 that Apple sells.

If yours came with a SCSI hard drive, I have no idea of what the performance
difference might be.

Sounds like we are in the same boat except that mine is floating and yours
has a hole in the bottom and you have to keep bailing water out. Not fun. :(
