    Scored a perfect Powerbook

    This powerbook MUST of been used as a desktop replacement... The G4 seems to be a long life CPU... I remember getting a PM G4 400mhz in 99... I don't remember if the G3 has a long useful life like the G4... But the powerbook handles everything I throw at it...

    What you you think, was this a good deal or what?

    So I can honestly say the Mac Mini IS faster than the G5, it runs m games faster and smoother, Adobe runs alot faster... I don't use the internal hdd I use the FW800 connected to the mini with my 1TB hdd.

    What you you think, was this a good deal or what?

    My games work well under the mac mini, as I sold the G5 on ebay for 750.00 + 35.00 shipping. Given the fact that the G5 was a good computer it was also huge and no-a-days I'd like the smallest computer. The mini is 2lbs the G5 48lbs. 480 watts for the G5; 100 watts for the mini... I also...

    How many have a Powermac G5?

    The Powermac G5 is no where near obsolete... I use my PMG5 more than I use my new Mac mini... it is snappier than the mini... Don't get me wrong the mini is great but I prefer the G5. And I finally aquired a PCI-E WiFi card to replace the USB WiFi, the PCI-E is alot faster than the USB and...

    What you you think, was this a good deal or what?

    I still think the G5 is a bit faster... but that is my opinion.. The unit and all of the parts might be out of date but I works for me.... I still love the PPC platform... And to pluck down 3K for a Mac Pro makes no economical sense to me, My G5 is a VERY capable machine... So now I have the...
