Hi Thomas, I have the G5 1.6 GHz and had a memory upgrade on the way when you posted the other day. FWIW, I went from 1.25 to 3 GB of memory and have seen a distinct improvement in the way the machine is handling the symphonic arrangement I'm working on today. I'm using OS 10.4.11, Finale 2009; same video card and VRAM configuration.
Found a pretty good price on a 2 GB pair here: http://tinyurl.com/ykp8mhx Hope this helps.
