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 >< |

All things considered, I'd get a G5 quad tower over any macIntel machine -- at least for the next 2 years. First generation is buggy. I had the worked for Apple, and had the opportunity to play with the machines all the time. I also witnessed a few people with a few issues. The internet is a powerful tool to acquire information on the current reliability status and integration of the new iMac. My experience with the quad: miraculous. Stable, lightening quick, 4GB ram and something that should be REALLY a consideration for musicians in a home studio: QUIET.
Make sure to buy Applecare -- it will cover the monitor as well: which is very, VERY important. I had the fortune of working in a Flagship. I can share any information on product knowledge, but not about the company -- Apple was an outstanding company to work with. Any qustions, email me directly. http://www.fishboisfo.com |
