[QUOTE="wickerman1138, post: 1074065, member: 87046"] Hi, I have a 10 year old G4 with the following spec: OSX 10.4.11 Machine Name: Power Mac G4 Machine Model: PowerMac3,4 CPU Type: PowerPC G4 (11.3) Number Of CPUs: 1 CPU Speed: 533 MHz L2 Cache (per CPU): 1 MB Memory: 1 GB Bus Speed: 133 MHz Boot ROM Version: 4.1.4f1 The applications we use the most are: Adobe Illustrator Photoshop Word excel powerpoint About 2 years ago I started getting Kernal Panics and rectified that and while haven't had problems since the machine is understandably slow, being old and all that. A recent edition of MacUser had a little diagram through which you plotted your choices to the appropriate mac and because I sometimes use big photoshop files (358mb), and slow down is mos marked when I do, and in the future imagine our kids will be wanting to edit their own films etc a macpro terminal seems a likely option. I was also wondering if I could keep this old G4 and use its 2 HD (had an extra one fitted) as backup to the new one? I haven't been keen on the all in one imacs as if the screen goes does that not mean the whole thing is null and void? My buying philosophy with the G4 was I wanted it to last so now I need to buy a new one does anyone have suggestions as to what the most suitable one for me would be? I would really appreciate your advice! [/QUOTE]
