I bought a damaged G5 DP 1.8 GHz a couple of years ago and repaired it. I liked the fact that it is not water-cooled (so many reports of coolant leaks). Even with an upgraded video card and 3 extra hard drives stuffed into the bottom of the case it runs in the low 40's (Celsius) an the fans rarely kick into high speed. I have the PCI version which maxes out at 4 GB RAM. I kind of wish I had found the PCI-e version, only because it holds up to 8 GB RAM. I have a couple of G4s with nice upgraded DPs but I find the faster bus speed of the G5 makes it much faster for photo, video, and other CPU-intensive tasks. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
