Depends on the app. Might be a maxed out Intel PowerMac running Sheepshaver.... But generally the rule of thumb is "if it needs direct access to the hardware, it needs to boot in 9" So those apps would run best on a G4. Otherwise the G5 is the way to go. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- 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.
