[QUOTE="harryb2448, post: 1570991, member: 42497"] And further the system bus speed will stay exactly where it is, usually between 800MHz and 1GHz. The boost from an SSD may be somewhat limited by the G5's SATA 1, 1.5GB/s speed but will sure improve boot times and if you are into advanced programs, read/write times./ If used for browsing, emails etc the difference will not be very noticeable. Also as the memory is old and somewhat slow, do as bobtomay suggests put the cash towards a newer Intel machine. [/QUOTE]
