The G5 may also be 64bit.


Isn't G4 already 64-bit? I heard it once, just curious...

No, it's not, it a 32 bit chip. Lot's of people seem to think it's 64bit though. I think people get confused with the "Velocity Engine" which is a 128bit vector-math processor which is part of apples G4, in fact that's pretty much the main difference between a G3 and a G4. It could (but not really) be thought of as the old 386 with the 387 math co-processor.
