[QUOTE="D3v1L80Y, post: 876187, member: 2960"] [B][U]Obsolete[/U][/B] Pronunciation: \ˌäb-sə-ˈlēt, ˈäb-sə-ˌ\ Function: adjective Definition: 1 a: no longer in use or no longer useful I find Power Mac G5's to be very useful and will for some time now. I also know that several of them are still in use, therefore obsolete isn't the best choice of terminology here. ;) To the OP: Speaking as a designer myself, that machine will serve you well. Load up the RAM and you'll be just fine. I'm still using a single 1.6 Ghz G5 with 3GB RAM and doing fine. Like the tower myth, another myth is that you "need" the latest and greatest in order to do your job well. Hogwash. I know some people that are still using G3's with OS 9 for design work. I'm sure some will argue about how new machines "save them time" and "increase their productivity"...etc., etc., etc... Your talent and skill as a designer are what matters, not your machine. Keeping a step or three 'behind' the times isn't a detriment. [/QUOTE]
