[QUOTE="bryanisfishing, post: 349960, member: 28583"] Hey everyone in the MAC world. I am planning to buy a mac, very soon, but I am very clueless when it comes to MACs. I am planning to buy a G5, USED. I want to throw AE 7 and Photoshop CS on there. Is there anything I need to know? What is the top of the line, g5? is 4gig of ram enough? Should I save for a Mac Pro? How much should I be expecting to spend for a used G5. will 1200-1500 be sufficed. is a 2.3 or 2.5 ghz the fastest of the G5 class? This is the stats on my computer at work. is it good? Power Mac G5 Machine Model: PowerMac11,2 CPU Type: PowerPC G5 (1.1) Number Of CPUs: 2 CPU Speed: 2.3 GHz L2 Cache (per CPU): 1 MB Memory: 4.5 GB should I try aand get the same thing? Where is the best place to buy a used MAC? I got so many Qs, please help. [/QUOTE]
