opinions on a G5 Dual 2.0

[GWR]

I have a chance to pick up a used one of these.
Are they a reliable machine?
Any known "bugs" I should be aware of before I buy?

Thanks

No problems at all and you'll have a very rapid machine.

I'd go for it :black:

I am running the 2.3 GHz version of these machines, and I love it. Quiet, powerful and an excellent performer all around. I would recommend it.

I would ensure that you have at least 1 GB of RAM with this machine - it would be a shame to not give the CPU enough memory to really run free.

Good machine, but for how much?

$$$$$$$

Under $1200

A steal! Clearly I am biased, but I would go for it.

Make sure you have a warranty and see the Macintouch survey about G5 reliability June 2006

That's a first post with some impact!

Have you got a link to this survey?
