Answer : Problem: Powermac G4 vs Powermac G5, which is faster?

Generally the G5 will perform better - comparisons are available at <http://macspeedzone.com/html/hardware/machine/comparison/desktop/power_mac/index.shtml>

Macs don't normally crash under Mac OS X - if you do experience crashing, it is likely to be related to problems with the OS installation, or a hardware fault rather than the platform type. Uptime on my G5 tower is currently 30 days, which was since the last OS upgrade I did.
