Sure, a Mac Pro would be faster, more compatible with recent OSX, and

On the other hand, you would have the added trouble of your old

I agree with Valter. The upgrade cost can be sizeable. Part of what
keeps me
on 10.4 is that I have Photoshop 7 (the last "non-activated"
Photoshop),
which does not work on 10.5, and many Classic apps I paid
considerable money
for back in the day such as QuarkXPress. Not only would I incur the
cost of
the new machine, but the headaches of the new software and the costs
of
buying it. At least I have an academic discount, but still, not cheap.
If you hear of any, like the air-cooled ones in the PCIs class, let me
know.
I believe they are air-cooled ... the 2.3GHz has been mainly of
interest. Close to Lynchburg, VA where I might pick it up ... "haha".
If needed, I think I can buy a PCIe to PCI adapter?
