Early Benchmarks: Dual 1GHz
Many Mac news outlets and readers have pointed out Barefeats' early benchmarks of the Dual 1 GHz G4 (DDR) vs Dual 1 GHz G4 (non-DDR).

As well, others argue that the tests don't actually stress the particular systems enough to measure differences in the bus speeds. (Dennis of http://www.fractaldomains.com/)
More extensive benchmarks should appears as more systems are distributed.
