Avalon said:Performance-wise, the PowerMac is still faster than the Intel iMac, but I would say that the iMac (G5 or Intel) is better value for money, as you get the whole package with screen, BT and Airport.
As always, it depends on what you want to do with it...

BUT there is something you need to keep in mind on this..
UNIVESAL software.. will not be available for at least 6 months or more.. they will run under rosetta.. but will not run natively.. in that case.. so they will run under emulation and may not runn to its full potential. i would get the imac G5..
something else to think about.
It should be fine (will be a tiny bit slower then PPC due to Rosetta). Even with the speed trade off the iMac is worth it.Say_Cheese said:How would an iMac cope with running Photoshop Elements 3.0? Or do I need a Powermac for this??
