[QUOTE="gucciago, post: 114427"] [b]iMac G5 SWEET![/b] I have the iMac G5 with 1.5gig ram and it flies... I have also a powerbook G4 1.33 with 786ram and there is no comparison.. the G5 is MUCH faster... also Tiger can address the true 64Bit G5 where the G4 cannot access these efficiencies.. so.. running Tiger on the G4 might be ok.. but nothing like the optimized G5 ... I use Industry software like Illustrator and Photoshop..(many others) and haveing the 64 Bit processor really makes a difference... more-so in Tiger .... Also.. the G4s use the IDE Dard drives and they are not as fast as the Serial Drives in the G5s my laptop really suffers... 32bit, 4200rpm IDE ATA... it REALLY has to be maxed out in ram just to keep up....
