So, I think I'm finally ready to make the leap to a G5. I'm looking at the new 2.0 & 2.3. I'm not too concerned about the processor difference, and I highly doubt I'll ever have more than 4 Gigs of RAM, so for me it comes down to PCI vs PCI-X slots. In CDN $$$ it's almost a $700 diffrence. Getting the PCI-X also means upgrading my MIA to a GINA which is added cost... So, my question is: is the PCI-X really worth all this added investment?

Or should I just max out my RAM in my single G4 867? cool.gif

Thanks in advance,
.d.

Not much interest, but one day you'll HAVE to upgrade the audio card wink.gif As PCI-x will stay and simple PCI will disappear. Anyway, for ram, life starts at 512 MB, family house at 1 GB, and paradise over this.

For the pissing contest, a mono G5 1,8 is about the same as a double G4 1,42 of in pure crushing number a double G4 2 GHz accelerator

And you can upgrade the CPU only and max out RAM.

Thanks for the advice...

i feel if i get the 2.0 i can invest more into RAM, and I'll still save money. I don't mind upgrading to PCi-X further down the road, but for now one purchase is enough.
