[QUOTE="icantsurf, post: 95294"] I personaly have the dual 2gig G5 PM and LOVE it! Something you may want to consider is setting your budget and shopping for refurbs. the nice thing about an apple refurb is it carries the same warrenty as a 'new' unit. I ended up with a nearly loaded dual 2gig with a superdrive and 9600pro videocard for less than the cost of a 'new' student discounted dual 1.8 base model. (and that's after I had an extra gig of RAM installed) so seriously consider the apple refurbs. The dual processor is the way to go for anything remotely related to rendering so if you tend to use multiple layers in Photoshop you may want to seriouslly consider the dual. The single procesors are pretty $#@! quick too though but you will definately need to invest in RAM with a single processor setup. [/QUOTE]
