Thanks for all the feedback, everyone! :) There's a G5 for sale in my town for $500. But I think I might just do a processor upgrade to my current powermac. Maybe up to 1.x GHz or something. I just thought it could have been cheaper to use a G3, but after whoever mentioned the 66Mhz bus made a good point. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
