PowerMac G5 Performance

This may be an ignorant question, but I'll trust the Mac fans here to be kind. I have MDD G4. 1.25 dual proc. 2GB RAM. I'm thinking of going to a G5, and curious if I got a dual 2.5GHz, and sufficient RAM, if in general, I'd expect 2X the performance. The only time I feel it shows its age is when e

Re: G5 2.7 upgrade to Quad Core?

There is a very slim chance this will work, as it all depends on whether the processor is compatible, the CPU bus speed, and if the machine will accept it. I tried putting a dual 500Mhz in my other 400Mhz sawtooth, and no luck came around. I'm not saying it's impossible, i'm saying I have had too

The quad is the best machine reliability wise as it has the good liquid cooling system. Try and get one with a 6800 Ultra video card.

Re: Power Mac G5 – to buy or not to buy?

I'll generally echo what Kris has said regarding the liquid cooled G5's. An additional factor to consider is that the G5 you're using may be a quad-core, as opposed to the more common dual-core/dual-processor G5's. That would explain why it's able to smoke the more recent iMacs, which only have
