[QUOTE="Tanner31593, post: 564341, member: 26361"] Well, I just wanted to add that processor upgrades for DP PowerMacs are VERY expensive from what I have seen, about $500 at the least.I currently have a dual 533 and its really fast-i run tiger, i have no complaints at all. Mine only has 896mb of ram, which i will probably upgrade soon. In the next year or so I may go for a Mac Mini, when Leopard is more stable and when I refurnish my bedroom so I can have a smaller desk. Right now- without thinking about Leopard, I would go with a DP PowerMac. Mine has been great- I would get a MDD just because if i remember correctly it's easier to add front USB ports and a card reader, someone else can correct me if i'm wrong. My dual 533 still seems as fast as the day i got it, I thought it would slow down over time like my old iMac did, but that doesn't seem to be the case with the DP models. Good luck! Oh i notice this is my 300th post.....sweet!:D [/QUOTE]
