[QUOTE="jpars, post: 638013, member: 46384"] I have a 2.16ghz MBP, Intel Core Duo, 2 gigs ram, x1600 256mb. I rarely use it on my lap and mainly have it is a desktop. Even as a student, I can't remember one time I have taken it to class or absolutely needed a laptop. That said I am looking to get into a desktop. I can't afford a new Mac Pro. I will be using CS3 fairly regularly in the near future, mostly Indesign. I got a trade offer for a Powermac g5, here are the specs Dual 1.8GHz PowerPC G5 processors 4.5 GB of RAM (6 of 8 DIMM slots filled) ATI Radeon 9650 video card - 256 MB of VRAM, dual DVI output (Apple BTO option) 250 GB Western Digital Hard Drive SuperDrive Airport Extreme wireless card (w/ OE external antenna) Internal 56K modem Apple keyboard & mouse DVI to VGA adapter OE OS X (10.3) restore DVD any thoughts? I have leopard and all my own software to dump on it. [/QUOTE]
