Hi...
I am total rookie as for the Apple architecture. I have been using PC for many years. My main interst is Logic 7 and some initial steps with video post. I have bought YAMAHA SW1000XG few years ago and it worked quite on my PC. One of my firends is selling Power Mac G5 1.6 with 768 RM , 80 SATA Drive and GFX5200. She wants to be paid 800 euro (apporx. 1050$) for this machine... To be honest I do not know what to do ... Shall I buy this mac and upgrade it with some additional stuff (RAM) and it would run desired software Logic 7 or wait , be calm and wait for the prices of Dual 1.8 G5 go down ? Help me please, (as I have netioned I have got spare parts that could be put directly into the mac to make it 2GB and xtra 300 maxtor 7200 rpm SATA HDD) ? Would the SW1000XG improved overall system performance in apps like Logic or for example Garrage Band ? Thanx! |

Hmm...
Cool... Now ! I have to start negotaiations with her ... I am really fed up with Windows XP. I love the way OSX looks and also behaves. It is exceptional. There are also some nice tools for math and stuff that I normaly use in lab  Nevertheless, thanks for advice... Best wishes! Kamil |
