[QUOTE="iscribe, post: 1257127, member: 205752"] Hey guys, I'm still new to the Mac community so forgive if this sounds crazy or has been asked. :) I have an old G5 tower that's great for the basics but now that the LION OS is coming out I want something that has an intel processor with more power [I want to run Final Cut and Light-room among others] - but I don't have a lot of cash. I'm thinking about getting a used MacPro 3.1 I've seen versions with a 2.8GHZ or a 3.0GHZ chip my question is say i maxed out the RAM how much time [years] do you think I'd get out of it with the LION OS. Any and all suggestions would be most appreciated!!! [/QUOTE]
