[QUOTE="daveminnich, post: 459961, member: 35464"] I want a Mac desktop to use for photo and video editing and some light graphic design. (nothing professional). Is the Power Mac G5 still a nice machine if I find one used in nice shape? I currently run a Core 2 Duo MacBook with 2GB of RAM. I run Adobe Lightroom, and the entire Creative Suite 3. I want a Mac desktop, but I don't like the iMac and the Mac Pro is way too much money. So . . .is the Power Mac G5 now too outdated to even bother with? If it would be worth getting one, what specs would it need to have to run at least on par with my MacBook? And would it run Leopard well? Thanks! Dave [/QUOTE]
