I think he's referring to the G5 cluster built recently by Virginia 
Tech -- it scored third among the world's supercomputers for a fraction 
of the cost (see top500.org). It edged out a Xeon cluster with a few 
hundred more processors, so it seems that the G5 is a reasonable 
competitor among today's top workstation CPUs (unlike the G4).

Well, it takes two to tango. For every Mac zealot out there, there's 
someone on the other side of the fence who's just as fervent. There's 
no need to be so argumentative if you're truly platform agnostic.
