How would this perform compared to the new Mac Pro 3.0ghz?

Thanks

(If you were wondering I am not seriously considering buying this. Only the shipping to Israel would be around 12,000$ )
One quad Xeon Mac Pro with 2 gigs of ram will easily beat that farm of 36 G4s.
Intel really outdid itself with those Core 2 Duos...who would have thought that Intel would pull it off?
