I`m thinking of switching (sort of). I do alot of my work using the .net framework so I would not be able to get rid of my PC.
What I would like is a configuration were I can use my PC/Mac depending on what I`m doing. I was thinking of work like stuff on PC, and play on MAC - i.e. Emails, Surfing, Word processing, non-work programming.
I have toyed with a few different configurations. I like the Apple laptops but I would mostly be using in my bedroom so thought better getting iMac or Power Mac. The iMac looks excellent but would mean I would have to have 2 monitors on my desk. That leaves the Power Mac, I thought I could get a KVM and then switch between PC and Mac. This gives me the most flexibility.
Sadly the Power Macs are very expensive. I`m looking at the bottom end, a single processor 1.8. From the looks of it the dual processor machine isnt that much gain (yet) and is alot more expensive. This becomes more vital considering virtually all Macs need a RAM upgrade before taking out the shop.
What do you guys think? Would a single process power mac g5 1.8 be an okay investment? Or would it date too quickly?
Also does anyone else have a PC/Power Mac operating on a KVM, what mouse/keyboard would you use?
Thanks in advance for your comments/help
