My advice.. get a G5 mac while you still can..... Even better, if you use your machine solely for work Like I do, consider a long term lease (I'm doing 12months).

I'm not sure about the tax benefits in the States or wherever you are, but in Australia Lease payments are a 100% tax deduction, so as long as I keep making money and paying my tax this machine (20" iMac G5 last rev. with 1.5GB RAM) isn't going to cost me anything.

I'll buy a Core Duo when RB and my Adobe suite run natively (or maybe I'll do another lease... I'm waiting to see how beneficial leasing equipment is for me, but so far it's been pretty cheap).

Cheers,
Tom

I know this was discussed a few weeks ago. I'm looking for an update...

Is anyone running RB2006 on the last generation G5 iMacs and/or the new
intel iMacs?

I know they need more memory to run RB well. I'm looking feedback on
saving/running/compiling speeds under Rosetta verses the G5 with larger
projects.

I have to purchase an additional Mac in the next week or so. I'm worn out with the slowness of RB2006 on my G4DP 1.25 PowerMac so a 50% speed hit under Rosetta sounds like death to me. I hate to guy a G5 this late but I have to stay productive while I pine away for UB version of RB late in the
year.

Any real life experience on or off list would be really appreciated,
