Apple did 64 bit years before microsoft (OSX was out in what... 2001 or something?). Windows computers are just getting their feet wet in dual core, and now apple has a new mac with two dual core cpus, FOUR?!?! Each is at 2.5 Ghz. Lets do some math... 2.5 * 4 = 10. Thats 10, yes count 'em, 10 Ghz in total. In 64 bit.
Is it just me, or is this really really crazily awesome? I wish I had that computer.

Though for 4000$ I expect more then 512 MB RAM. I expect 2 GB. And a 500 GB HDD.
From apple.ca:
"Enter the dual-core PowerPC G5 processor: one silicon chip with two independent 2.5GHz processor cores. Now take two of those chips and you have the Power Mac G5 Quad, for groundbreaking quad-core processing."
$3,999.00
Two dual-core 2.5GHz PowerPC G5 processors
1.25GHz frontside bus per processor
1MB L2 cache per core
512MB of 533MHz DDR2 SDRAM (PC2-4200)
250GB Serial ATA hard drive
16x SuperDrive (double-layer)
Three open PCI-Express expansion slots
NVIDIA GeForce 6600 with 256MB GDDR SDRAM
