I too have a G5 dual 2.7 I have the Jive 5 stuff and am awaiting the dough for the Seritek 1V4 card I assume your TimeMachine is only backing up your A drive ( the top slot.)? The 2TB drives are coming down in price so I guess I'l bend over for a 10 TB 8 GB super box. However I have found I like Tiger better on the PPCs Except for watching DVDs. So I use a 250GB partition with Leopard and CCC for backups. Each day at 3:00 pm.
