[QUOTE="Keithoms, post: 989930, member: 142075"] Looking to make the switch from PC to Mac. Have currently a high spec gaming PC with i will be selling to fund the cause :). Now, i can afford either a 2.26 2GB New Mini or a top of the range Powermac Dual G5. Now, which is better? One example of a possible PMac: [I]Apple PowerMac G5, Dual 2GHz, 3GB RAM, 160GB HDD Complete with an Apple keyboard and mouse plus a pre-installed OS X Leopard (10.5) Used but in mint condition with original box, manuals and disks PowerMac G5 Dual 2Ghz 3GB RAM 160GB Hard Drive DVD-RW OS X Leopard 10.5 PowerPC G5[/I] And the Mini would be the stock 2.26 model. How does the PMac do with running current applications? Will it bog down at all? I take it that it cannot run SL because of the Intel thing? What should i buy? [/QUOTE]
