Hi All,
At work today I was offered a G5 Powermac, for only $100. I have done a bit of research and althougth they were a great pc I am just wondering on opions as to weather or not it is worth the purchase.
The specs are
Dual Core 1.8 GHz G5
1 GB RAM
NVIDIA G2500 with 64MB RAM
1 x 160GB HDD
Basically at the moment I have a tecra A9 which i use for uni work as well as all my RAW photo editing in photoshop and lightroom.
its specs are
Intel Core 2 DUO 2.5Ghz
2GB RAM
Intel Chipset Graphics
1 x 250GB HDD
Win 7
Basically when editing photos etc it grinds to a halt and can be very painful.
With an upgrade in memory would it be better than my tecra? Also, what are the limitations of the powerpc and will it be totally obselete soon?
What do you think, purchase or not?
Thanks in Advance,
Danny
