[QUOTE="specops1526, post: 43982"] I was in the same situation a few months back when I ordered my dual 2.0 G5. Right after I ordered it they sent me an email and told me the 2.5 just came out and that I could upgrade for the same price so I did it. I just got my dual 2.5 with 9800xt on Friday. Took three months to get. I guess it was worth it, haven't yet used it for anything but web surfing. I'm a graphic designer and I'm sure that either the dual 2.0 or the dual 2.5 will work for whatever you need to do seeing as I'm still using my 5 year old PC for my work. I think the new mac is probably even more computer than I'll need for some time. I'm sure both configurations will have some lasting power. I think if you can get the 2.0 w/ the 9800xt for the same money as the base 2.5 then get that one. It's nice to have the top of the line graphics card mated with a powerful processor. Plus with some extra RAM you'll have a great computer. I'm sure it will be very comparable to the 2.5 G5 or better with the added upgrades. Good Luck with your choice! [/QUOTE]
