there are a couple opteron boards out already that run agp pro, if you can afford the $900 processor price tag, and the $450 motherboard.
SPEC tested the opteron vs. the g5, and it wasn't even pretty. the _dual_ g5 2ghz was like 2 points ahead of a SINGLE 1.8 opteron, and the dual opteron 1.8 totally spanked the 2ghz dual g5. apple hasn't come out with anything but a new case and a new set of lies.
