[QUOTE="chris2her, post: 180951"] I work with photoshop all day long. I also am the creative director for a lifestyles magazine. I have a team of designers. I use an Imac g5 for the most part. I also work in all kinds of programs such as dreamweaver and aftereffects. I know how you feel about your g4. I have a g4 500mhz powerbook at home. The new intel systems are going to be really kick ***. But for the most part is over kill for photoshop. Any of the new g5 computers or intel or newer g4 powerbooks will do well. What you need to worry about is ram and harddrive space. Yes a g4 or g5 will soon be looked at as dinosours but all computers will be. So I try to go with the bang for the buck. What can you get for the budget that has a fast g4, g5 or whatever chip... What ram you can get better be a gig or more... What hard-drive space you need... Do you need a burner? Thats what is important. Ask yourself what do you need to do with your computer and then ask what do I really need to get that job done. I am sure you can still do that job on the g4 you have. If you are scared to move sit it out for a while and see what happends. The new chips im sure are great. Mac does take care of there buyers and will not leave you alone in all of this. Do keep in mind that when new technology comes out its much like running your finger along the edge of a blade. You could get cuz and bleed or you might not. [/QUOTE]
