[QUOTE="ADKhikerVW, post: 749318, member: 36483"] I concur, while the G5s (and all PowerPC systems) were excellent for their time, and still make extremely useful systems, the future is Intel. That usefulness is going to fade as apps become increasingly biased towards Intel, and PowerPC development slows. Eventually it may be impossible to obtain new software for these older Macs. If I were to look for a used Mac now, I would look for at the very least a Core Duo. These systems will remain supported and useful for a much longer time than the PowerPC systems will. [/QUOTE]
