So i was planning on getting a new Mac, and when the Minis came out i was like sweet! i'm gonna have around $1000 from taxes, selling my old mac and my xbox. (i know this is in powermacs, keep reading!)
So i was looking at the 1.42GHz mini with a super drive, 512MB RAM, 80GB HD, and the apple care plan. I'm a studen so with my discount it was $835.
So i figured i'll still have a couple hundred left maybe i should go the next step up... i looked at laptops and the imac but i don't really want one of those, so i turned to the powermac as an alternative.
Agian i've got a studen discount, so for a 1.8GHz G5 (single, sadly) 256MB RAM (i know it real bad, but i'll upgrade eventually, is OS X ok with so little RAM is i've got a G5?), 80 GB SATA HD, a combo drive, and no modem it came to $1233, i can afford that extra money so it's not a big deal money-wise. but do you think it would be worth the downgrade in:RAM, Superdrive, and apple care to go up to the much more expandable G5?
Thanks for all your help!
