A recent article by Tony Smith from The Register titled "Mac OS X 10.3 Panther will not be a 64-bit OS" caused a good deal of confusion with many people, including me. It is also caused a heated argument here on OSNews. The basic point of the article is that Mac OS 10.2.7 and 10.3 are not "true" 64-bit OSes, but the article does not clearly explain what a "true" 64-bit OS is. This had led to a lot of claims that the article is false or misinformed, rather than just unclear, which is certainly is.

RAM prices are going to deter all but the most determined from using the full capabilities of the G5.
A 2GB DDR RAM stick costs US$1300 or $10,000 for the full 16GB complement (8x2GB sticks) for a dual G5.
$US10,000 for RAM - That's a lot of money.
