[QUOTE="dawson1112, post: 1477128, member: 264710"] The G5 units were really good work horses for the time. Depending on what year it was built will dictate the ram that can go in it. early 2005 units were maxed at 8 gig ram while the late 2005 models were maxed at 16. the graphics card options were not to bad for the year also ◾GeForce 6600 LE ◾GeForce 6600 ◾GeForce 7800 GT ◾NVIDIA Quadro FX 4500 (part number 631-0110) More ram and a better video card would probly help with the intense graphics editing in photo shop but your over all speed would probly be slower as the g5s have a slower bus speed.
