Ok, I want to get into Macs, but cannot justify spending $2499+ for a Desktop computer (I would rather have a Mac Pro rather than an iMac). I know the short answer would be a newer Intel based Mac Pro would be the best bet (but again - $$)
I have come across a guy that has this:
Power MAC G5:
Dual 2.0 GHz Power Mac G5
5.5 Gig of DDR SDRAM
ATI Radeon 9800 Pro Graphics Card
400 Gig of Hard Drive Space
Mac OSX 10.04.11 Operating System
iLife 08: iWeb, iTunes, iMovie, iDVD, Garage Band
iWork 08: Keynote Presentations, Pages (read and writes Word Documents and Excel Files), Number Accounting Software
Photoshop Elements
Final Cut Pro
Is this a good system? Would it still be plenty fast enough? What I am unsure of is whether or not they are dual core processors, or single core.
I know you all see emails like this all of the time, but I know you would be the experts. I am going to go see it run tomorrow (I only saw the hardware today, but couldn't test out).
What should I watch for?
I went back and looked and I already made my first Mac mistake - calling it a Mac Pro instead of Power Mac G5 - Doh!
Thanks much in advance
