G5 dual 1.8 Powermac (June 2003) built 2004 week 10

Hi Don From experience I'd look for a Core2Duo machine from 2008 or thereby. Whether you go desktop or laptop is your call. (I guess it will depend on what you can afford and what's available.) But my 2008 17 MacBookPro (2ยท6 GHz, 4GB RAM, the last of the pre-unibody ones) handled Quark 7 and
