[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1307424"] But the answer to your subject question is yes -- it's about time for a new(er) computer. You CAN, with a combination of luck, patience and money, get all the ingredients together and upgrade your machine sufficiently to bring your 3GS up to spec. At least for the time being. But wait a year and guess what -- that system won't work anymore. Either the 3GS will go off the supported list, or OS X 10.5 will (the latter most likely). On top of that, more and more programs are requiring the Intel chip Macs, including the last two versions of the OS, and likely the next versions of iTunes, Safari, QuickTime ... you get the picture. The writing is on the wall. You can start saving for a new(er) Intel Mac now, or wait until you HAVE to get one. I'm delighted that your 2005 machine is still working out for you, but truthfully there are already chunks of the web that are beyond your machine's capabilities, and program versions as well. That problem is only going to get worse with time. [/QUOTE]
