[QUOTE="mufngruf, post: 1217741, member: 151219"] I realise this may seem like heresy to many folks, but I have finally reached the conclusion that I just don't NEED all the bells and whistles and mind-numbing speed that supposedly comes with an Intel processor and would like to get rid of this monster 24" iMac and get a G5 with a bunch of ram and a smaller monitor. I just don't do too much movie editing or other complex things. My questions are as follows... 1. When I install the new system on the G5 and it asks me "do you want to transfer user info from another Mac" will it allow me to do so from the intel to the PPC via Firewire? 2. Will the Mail application still read my old email? 3. Can I import the things like keychain and the various plists (and, if so, how)? and 4. Will it still sync with my 3G iPhone? and any other things to watch out for.. any help/advice/warnings will be appreciated. Thanks [/QUOTE]
