Bought my last dual g5/1.8 (June 04), six years later still doing
almost everything I need it to do... (Civ IV would be nice, but not
nice enough to buy new.) Works very well in leopard. However, I

I share many of the views expressed in this thread about using a
computer that is a great value and does what we need it to do. In
most cases the need is expressed in software terms, since software is
generally what we are referring to when we say we use a computer.
I'd like to add that my

Ok, I'll chime in. I have Beige G3 at work running an eternal slide
show on two 19 inch LCD monitors. And a 500mhz G4 for general
classroom work, mostly Photoshop, on another pair of 19 inch LCDs.
Both running OSX, the G4 runs Leopard. Very reliable and fast enough.

Like all good rumor there is truth in some of this.
Semiconductor line widths have become so small that the operating voltage has
had to be reduced constantly to combat leakage and NBTI effects. Having a
overvoltage condition is VERY hazardous to a cpu's life. We in the
