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 |

We can suppose the next models to take over the G5 powermacs won't be around before fall (but we can't be sure… it's partly based on the availability of the relevant CPU from Intel).
G5s are rock solid but expect some software troubles for upgrades starting end of 2007 when editors will stop making universal binaries (nothing official, just a guess). i see great G5s coming by second hand I'd like very much at home now (got a mono 1,8 myself) and the software running on it will continue to do so if you don't want absolutely to upgrade all the time. They are wonderful machines.   On the macintel side, be sure most of the upgrades will have to be payed…    so it must be thought of.
