[QUOTE="ron45, post: 1211225, member: 184188"] I've been running a dual 2.0 G5 for several years I got it used when they were around 700 as refurbs. Put in my own drives and ram. Never a hiccup. I use it for recording digital audio. Love the thing. It's my third mac from Gainsaver.com. I had a G4 and got my wife a G5 after getting mine. They offer them stripped down and make their money selling back the things they took out of it or other ones. The only issue is at some point, the browser will be too old for the "new imporved" internet. I'll either get some newer refurb that will or get some i-cheapie thing. But for recording and processing audio it's all I'll ever need. So I'd look at one of the refurb places for an intel mac if you want more than a year or two of internet browsing. I could be wrong but at some point I think the java type apps won't support my old browser. Ron [/QUOTE]
