Hi all hope you guys can help me out with this!
I currently have a great G5 with 300GB and 1.5 RAM. But that computer is more of my family's computer than my own... my parents and my brother use it.
So I'm looking to get an older cheaper Mac just to have in my room to do some photoshop/illustrator stuff, web browsing. I have an old Dell in my room but it is falling apart on me (it's very old and it's PC so what else would you expect?)
So recently a friend of mine a work told me a friend of his is selling his old Mac G4. Here is his email...I know some computer stuff, but I know very little about video cards and things of that nature... I know for Adobe CS3 you need at least 1 gig of RAM, so I plan to upgrade that.
I'ts a Power Mac G4 (2.9)(AGP graphics) with 256 mb of ram and runs Mac OS X version 10.4.6. The graphics card is a 16mb ATY-Rage Pro 128 Pro. It has a 30gb hardrive with a zip drive and a CD burner. It already has Microsoft office 2004 and Adobe CS and CS2 versions of Image Ready, Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, and Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional along with a bunch of other adobe software. I dont have a monitor to sell but i will throw in a keyboard and mouse.
**Is this a good computer that will run well?
How much do you guys think it is worth?
Thank you all in advance for your feedback!
