Hey all,
Quick few questions regarding a G5 monitor and networking possibilities: Can an iMac be hooked up to a G5 & used as a monitor? Furthermore, can you network the two (while using the iMac as a monitor) and increase computing power? My reason for asking is that I want to get a cpu now and start learning, but will want to upgrade to the dual G5 in the relative future & don't want to feel as though I pissed money away on the iMac once I get the G5. I am hoping I can use both the iMac and the G5 together. Any thoughts? (mind you this is not a post asking if I should buy a computer now or not, I am more interested in networking possibilities) I would like to sincerely thank folks who respond to this post in advance. I appreciate your input

It can't, but you can use it as a hard drive (target mode) but it's for backup/hardware upgrade sake.
Push already the limits of the iMac, the whole Mac line will change this year, if you're not in a production/commercial situation, you can wait a little, save some more cash and maybe have something better in the end.
