I recently got a good deal on a 20" iMac G5 2.1GHz with SuperDrive (with free applecare).
Is there any difference between this and the Dual 2GHz PowerPC G5 tower? Is this iMac powerful enough to bust out with crazy animation, music and graphic design? Any help is very appreciated---thanks! (Oo) """ -emptyView >< |

The Intel iMac can also drive a second monitor, should you want to. Core Duo chips = dual processor power. 250Gb hard drive in the 20-inch model (160 in the 17): get an external drive for audio and you're all set.
Saying that, pro app support is still patchy for the Intel Macs. |
