I don't usually as these sorts os questions but I'm in a spot at the moment. With Tiger die for release like REALLY soon, and me not exactly having my finger on the Apple pulse of late, I just wanted to garner a few opinions.
I have a G4/500 upgraded B&W G3 with 1GB RAM, a Radeon 7000 PCI card, an ample hard disk and a nice 17" Flat Panel screen. I also have a 15" 800MHz iMac G4 with 768MB RAM, otherwise stock config. Would you consider buying Tiger for one or both these machines? My original plan was to buy a Dual CPU G5 PowerMac to run next generation stuff on and leave the two existing machines with 10.3.8, which runs like silk on both. Then I decided to fly out to Chicago to meet a group of friends in July so that's kinda been shelved for a long time. I can't see funds allowing a G5 shaped investment for some time and I was really looking forward to using the cool new features in 10.4 like Spotlight and Automater. My concern is that neither machine has particularly sparkling Graphics or Bus speeds and neither have a cats chance of handling anything fancy like the new CoreGraphics system (since 10.3.7 the B&W can't even do QE anymore). I dunno. Maybe I'm just thinking aloud, but I'd appreciate input, as I value everyone's opnion. -- Mark Benson http://homepage.mac.com/markbenson -- Mac UK is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and... 123Inkjets.com <http://lowendmac.com/ad/123inkjets.html> Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> Mac UK list info: <http://lowendmac.com/lists/mac-uk.shtml> --> AOL users, remove "mailto:"; Send list messages to: <mailto:[email protected]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-uk%40mail.maclaunch.com/> iPod Accessories for Less at 1-800-iPOD.COM Fast Delivery, Low Price, Good Deal www.1800ipod.com
