Apple rolls out 64-bit Power Mac G5 computers

San Francisco Chronicle:

Apple Computer has recently received praise for its iTunes music service. But its new Power Mac G5 computers, which went on sale in stores Monday, will probably have a much larger impact on the world of personal computing.

Apple already has 100,000 orders for its G5 machines, which cost $2,000 to $3,000, depending on the configuration. The breakthrough is that the computers use 64-bit microprocessors, a significant step beyond the 32-bit processors on current Apple machines and most PCs.
