I'm about to buy a new dual 2.0 g5. Is this a good time (as any) to buy one or does anyone know anything about any new models coming out soon that might have me wait a few weeks/months? (I must buy one within the next 3 months). Also, what might you guys recommend, a new dual 2.0 or the 2nd to last dual 2.3...(haven't quite mastered all the new mac terminology).
Thanks |

thanks everyone, i got my answer. i will be needing either a studio with a g5 (and have to pay for it) or to buy my own in the next month. I figure that the $1500 or so that I save by not renting studio time, will almost buy me a new g5. I figure that by the time apple comes out with the new intel version, and all the apps (PT, etc...) catch up, i will have more than enough use of the g5 to make it worthwhile. Plus, i would bet it will be a while before all the apps and 0s are fine tuned with all the bugs sorted out.
So buy now I will!!! |
