G5s were a beautiful piece of hardware. BUT they were relatively unreliable (soldering, water-cooling, PSU...), and they are way less powerful that subsequent Intel Macs. Besides, they suck power like crazy. :-D I had a 2.7 GHz dual processor with liquid cooling. Great machine, no doubt about it, and a delight to expand; but IIRC its power consumption was around 300 W (my 2009 iMac 24" consumes just around 100 W, screen included), and one day the Ram soldering went kaputt. Basing on my experience, if you really use your Mac everyday, adopting an Intel one is way better than a previous one. OTOH, if you just want to tinker with it, you'll likely love a G5 :-) -- -- 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.
