Firstly hi all, this is my first post...I've worked with computers for the past 15 years in the design field both on macs and pc's and I am currently freelancing again. Now here's where I need the help of true mackies.. I am currently working on PC HP pentium 4 Hyperthread 2.5 gb ram. I'm running CS5 with NO problems at all, I also have it running like a dream on my dual core laptop, but like most designers I have a 'pull' to use Mac. So I'm thinking of getting a little system to get my Mac fix. Budget us around 2-250 choices are
DUAL CORE G5 / MAC MINI / or lowend IMAC
I've come to the conclusion that NONE off these will run CS5 (decently) so my question is which do I go for... Do I DOWNGRADE to CS4 on a G5 that can be souped up or is it really worth going for a cheap intel with not much scope of upgrading hardware I mean as a designer with access to CS5 already which would be the best and most useful addition to my small but efficient set up.
Sorry for the length, but I've SEARCHED until I've confused myself and would appreciate all your knowledge, thang in advance guys (and girls) S )
