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 |

Steve was clear at the keynote, all Apple computers will be on intel by december 06, that is sooner than thought before (2007).
On the should I buy or not? Well, as usual if you need a computer now that can do it's work now, it's now. If you can wait a little (especially if you're short on cash) wait a little there will be new hardware (for the adventurous) and old models for cheaper. G5s are good stuff, they will works flawlessly in a pro environment 2-3 years. We'll have the software for G5 til then. On the macintel themselves we still need the apps (the one we are most interested in) so you can wait a little  Ecpecially to wait and se if all is clear and Apple/intel did their job with full marks.
