[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1270450"] Look, it's really much more simple than you're making it out to be. You have two options: 1. Return the G5 -- it's VERY old in computer terms, you never made clear why you bought it in the first place. 2. Spend money upgrading it. There's no way around that, you're going to have to spend money upgrading it. If you choose path #1, get an Intel Mac from 2007 or newer (Core2Duo). Don't get a Core Duo or Core Solo. Once you have that, buy Snow Leopard, do the updates, then move on to Lion if you want to. If you prefer path #2, you'll need to buy a copy of the retail Leopard DVD, which will likely cost you $120 or thereabouts (it's quite rare now). You'll probably also want to max out the RAM. Install Leopard, do the updates to 10.5.8 and you should be fine for a while, remembering that most new programs won't run on your machine. There's still plenty of good stuff for G5 Macs out there, at least for a while yet. [/QUOTE]
