[QUOTE="Elliott, post: 7864"] Okay, here's my delema. I've been offered an amazing deal. My problem is if i go for it, I'd have to sell my Gateway 2ghz. pentium 4 etc . . . My reason for looking into a make is that I will be increasingly involved in graphic design in the next few years. I almost jumped at this opportunity, but I have heard complaints about the g5. Especially with regards to having only one drive slot. So, I figured I'd ask the people who would know the best. What do you think? Any advice? Do you think Apple will include a second drive slot later on, and I should wait for that? Below is the deal i was offered. Thanks for your time, Ryan The price for the G5 with the monitor is US 2,200. The package will contain: 1 Apple Power Mac G5 1 Cinema HD Display 23" flat panel, 1 Apple DVI to ADC Adapter, 1 iPod 30GB, 1 Apple pro speakers The specs for G5: Dual 2.0GHz G5 processors 1GHz frontside bus 512K L2 cache/processor 512MB DDR400 128-bit SDRAM Expandable to 8GB SDRAM 160GB Serial ATA SuperDrive Three PCI-X Slots ATI Radeon 9600 Pro 64MB DDR video memory 56K internal modem 1 FireWire 800 ports 2 FireWire 400 ports 2 USB 2.0 ports Gigabit Ethernet AirPort Extreme Ready BlueTooth Ready Mac OS X v10.2 a [/QUOTE]
