[QUOTE="lil, post: 215058"] Are you running a software or hardware RAID, the PowerMac G5 does not have a built in SATA RAID controller, it does however like all Jaguar and later Macs contain support for software RAIDs managed by Mac OS X. I'd say that is a subjective thing rather than objective, as my opinion is that the G4 is an easier machine to maintain with its flip down panel, and for my tastes the Graphite G4 looks better than the PMac G5, but that's my own personal opinion, as I don't particularly like the PowerMac G5s look, but that's me :flower: I won't dispute that out of the box it comes a lot better specified than a 2001 era PowerMac G4. But the fact I don't like the PowerMac G5's looks, plus it being a bit too big for the small confined space I have made it more or less a no go. That's not me saying the G5 is a bad machine, it's a great machine, a fantastic machine. We all just have our personal tastes and well, frankly, we all chose what we have for our own reasons and until that person's own mind changes—then they should at least stay very happy with the decision they made. Oh and I use a lot of Mac OS 9 stuff, and having OS 9 bootability is a big bonus, had an iSub and Apple Pro Speakers laying around and wanted to make use of them without the addition of Griffin's dongle... The point I am getting at is that what is best for one person necessarily isn't the best for someone else. There are faster AMD PC systems than Macs, but does that make them a better choice? :flower: Maybe it's a sign of age, belligerence, delusion, or some **** other thing but for what I do and that is use Corel Painter IX.5, Adobe Creative Suite 2 day in and day out, I find my PowerMac G4 is all that I need, and handles everything I want to do fantastically—just as you find your PowerMac G5 and iMac Core Duo work fantasically for your needs. The bottom line is, I'm more than happy with what I have, you are more than happy with what you have, and least we have both chosen to use machines with the best OS on the planet ;) Vicky [/QUOTE]
