said it before, will say it again -- replaced my whole studio -- Dual 2.0 G5s and Dual 1.25s MDDs with AL iMacs -- maybe the best mac purchase i have ever made
speed over the G5s is astounding -- opening 5-6 100+ meg photos on my G5 was doable, but i know it would take a bit -- but with my imacs, it takes just a few seconds... all running dual screens
the only drawback is the internal drive size (although not so much with the new ones) and the difficulty to upgrade it and the 4 gig ram limit (again, not with the newest model)
their gaming tests with the 3.06 iMac and the stock GT130 were impressive as well...

EDIT: just read the test page -- IMHO, not really helpful. if yo are running After Effects, or motion or any other video app = Macpro, i think thats understood?
