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 >< |

Hello USA mac music users, I'm French and this morning the thread was very helpful, getting some knowledge about the new intel macs. Fishboysfo recommend the apple care.I'll consider it in spite of budget questions. I'm using macs since the apple II in 1980. I'm working nowadays with an applebook G4 1.25Ghz, 3 est firewire HD (250, 200, 200 Gbytes DP F4.6, Logic 7.1 VSL library and new tool (very impressive). I'm quite happy with the aluminium G4 and i'm thinking about the powerbook pro or Imac intel....to tell the truth I was surprised that apple get rid of the risk chips seems that G5 double etc is a very powerful and reliable machine. I have to stay "nomad" and I'm waiting the updates for making a decision. Is Apple thinking stoping all production with the power pc chips?? I think it's a bit tiring and expensive to change hardware so often an e-mail adress home as the macmusic adress is at work: jbucchi@libertysurf.fr or jbucchi2@aliceadsl.fr Regards from Paris |
