Hello Everyone.
I just registered to this forum but I have been having this die hard question stuck in my head for the past few days.
Now Ive been using mostly PC's for the last 10 years, not to happy with it though mind you. I want to switch to mac but there are a few problems.
I currently live in Turkey, and apple merchandise are twice as expensive, I have no chance of getting something from outside the country.
The new Macbook Pro's are really expensive here. The thing is I am currently studying 2d and 3d aniamtion in University. I need a machine that will allow me to use Maya. I keep seeing that there is maya for mac, but how well would it work on a powerbook g4 ? Not just but overall how would a upgraded g4 do these days. I think the best g4 currently uses 128 mb radeon ? more than enough for maya but what other specs can I upgrade, If I upgraded it to 2 GB ram. [ not sure if you can change the hard drives ] Especially since Leopard just came out, after that sort of update how well would the leopard work in the upgraded g4 ?
I noticed that the G4 powerbooks are now pretty cheap in Turkey, almost something I can afford. Is it worth it ?
Thanks in advanced.
