[QUOTE="afiaowo, post: 896869, member: 117950"] I am in need of a second computer and am going to switch to Mac. Since I will need to purchase a monitor, keyboard and mouse I can only afford a Power Mac G5 1.6 Ghz, 512mb ram. Since I’m not familiar with the relative performance of Mac hardware with a particular OS installed I need some help. I would like the machine to have some usefulness for around 2 years. It will be used for word processing, email and internet in that order. Will the machine in question already be slow or is there going to be some life left in it? When I open a document or PDF file is it going to take 10 seconds? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
