I've had many Power Macs before this one mainly a G4 Quicksilver dual 800mhz and it was a great little machine for what it was, until it just went poop :(. I started on a mission on looking for a new Power Mac as it has been years since Ive had to purchase a new one. Seeing how prices started to drop this one was right in my price range and i will never regret purchasing this G5 although its not an Intel mac nor can i install snow leopard i don't mind just like the saying goes if it works don't fix it. Teh initial setup i received it in was Dual 1.8GHz PowerPC G5 processors 1GB DDR400 Ram 80GB WD Drive 120GB WD Drive New Setup made a world of a difference now at 3GB or DDR400 Ram 250GB Primary OS drive cloned with ccc. 320GB Secondary Drive time machine backup drive. After the initial upgrade this machine fly's I however do have some issues running some of the newer apps as they are no longer universal but eventually i will be upgrading to a intel mac or macbook or a 13" mbp. Here are some Pros and Cons of the machine that i feel would help someone out purchasing a powerpc system. Pro's - Dual Processors (Might not be 2.0ghz but still quick) - Expandable to 4GB of Ram - Large Hard Drive capacity they can take upto 1TB. - Fast and easy machine and very affordable mac. Con's - PowerPC processor - unable to run Snow leopard until someone finds a way. - And Cannot run some of the newer apps as they have not included a universal binary :( Overall: This is a great machine for the price, i would recommend this to anyone. :)Read full review
