I agree, limiting memory capacity to 1GB on Macmini G4 is very much crippling
the system, however if you like to do simple tasks under Tiger, and browse the
internet it is more than capable. People tend to linstall Leopard and I think
that should even lower available memory.

Hope that you did not get the one with the liquid cooling system. These tend
to leek and die. I personally like to use abandon ware from Classic Mac, and
because I am also conscious of the fact that certain PowerMacs can waste lot of
electric power (400-550Watt) I love the Mac mini G4. Under

I have a G4 Mini, and I like the concept, but the actual product left
much to be desired. Most G4 Minis are limited to 1GB RAM in a single
slot, and the requirement of low density RAM makes the RAM twice as
expensive as
I got my G5 from the same guy off eBay fatfreddie2004. It came quick
and had a lot of software pre installed on it.

Thanks for the advice, all very helpful.
I'll probably stick with a G5 to keep the cost down.

The second hand Mac pros are way better than the G5.
The Mac pros have better reliability They run cooler and quieter than
the Powermac G5.
They have Intel processors which mean it can run the latest mac os x

As an owner of many Delphi G5s, they're pretty much fine if you can smell
burning before they set your house on fire. All jest aside, its OK.

the Mac Pro is nice and all, but the fact remains that Intelness adds
significant to the price. Hereabouts, a pristine dual 2.5 G5 sans RAM,
video, and HDD (since personal preferences matter so much, when our little
circle swaps machines we do so like this) can be had for ~$100; that means

Late 2005 G5s have PCIe, SATA, and DDR2 SDRAM. They are very fast

Support for alternative operating systems on the G5 is generally worse.
GNU/Linux support for 1 G5 machine is much better than for the entire G4 line :)
For example, ALSA driver snd-aoa works perfectly, even for sound input

That was kind of my thinking (granted I am not a computer guru but I
do know a few things). I was also thinking I could disable one of the
CPU's (which I think is an option since it does boot to the apple logo
but just hangs there) and just run a single core which I have helped a
friend out with
no, no, no, and no. (i think that's enough nos.) the 1.8 and 2.0
models had different mobo clock speeds. you cannot swap a 1.8 for a
2.0. furthermore, if you replace one processor, sot only does it have
to be the same clock speed, it must be with a processor that is
identical to the other.
