Hello Mac fans,
I am currently using a windows PC. Don't flame me but it isn't all that bad. My main reason for getting myself a mac is simple curiosity. While I was cruising ebay and some used Mac sites I discovered that the G5 and the Mac pro don't use the same processor. Since my office has enough room for my windows box and what ever Mac I choose to buy I don't need to be concerned with dual booting. For that reason I am considering getting myself a used dual proc G5 as apposed to a newer Mac Pro to save some money. Before I make the plunge I want to ask some questions.
First, will the latest version of the Mac OS run on the older G5 platform.
Second will the latest versions of mac compatible software run on the older G5 platform.
Third if the answer to second question is no, how hard is it to find G5 compatible software.
