Hi,
I'm selling my dual 867 G4 mdd and will get a G5. As I'm not swimming in dollars, I'm thinking of getting the 2X2Ghz G5, with 2 gig ram and two internal drives. I heard that Apple are working on the next g5 with Intel chips, do you know when they're due and if I should wait for these? Thx Jean |

Smart choice... On the G5 Dual... Can't go wrong. I'm still waiting for someone to tell ne why the IntelG5 is better... How will it improve and speed up things in a non-technical way where I can see, feel and know? Is it so fast that I'm going to say: "Wow!!! Awesome!!! Whew!!!" Or am I going to say: "Hmmmmm, really can't tell.... Do it again..."
If it does prove to be faster and more solid than my current G5, and I don't have to pay for new upgrades for all my Softwar/?Drivers/Serial Numbers/Activation/Verification Codes... I might "think" about it. But it has to be a serious kick ass machine that everyone is raving about. |
