[QUOTE="Hombre, post: 623837, member: 44061"] ...the video card is, yes, important, but is a minor piece of the expense...and increasing the quality of my existing card, which is really a very good one, is not going to significantly increase the performance of the G5. Re: the price. I am referencing MacMalls' price on a 3.2Ghz 8-core Mac Pro...if you know anyone who sells that machine for around 2 grand, let me know..... ...and as far as getting rid of the existing G5 to pay for parts and upgrades for a new one? ...nah.....I have too many programs that I'm not willing to take to the Intel platform yet...and besides, that's talkin' more bucks than the new machine......bottom line is: they keep us buying..... My history with apple has been steeped in obsolescence......... ...I've still got some plug-ins and so on from OS9 that haven't made it to X, let alone Intel-X........ [/QUOTE]
