[QUOTE="Teaser, post: 177433"] Not intending to hijack the thread, but I'm also trying to decide on purchasing a G5 or Intel iMac. I'm a long time Mac user, but have some reservations about buying something with a brand new architecture. My plan was to buy a G5 iMac this weekend, and I'm still leaning that way. Primary concern is that I live in a remote area, so having any problems corrected is not an easy task. The G5 will do everything I need and its a proven platform. The only real benefit to the Intel iMac for me at this point is the higher screen resolution. I normally work on a 2 year replacement cycle and I would imagine the intel based system will be pretty mature by then. I have to buy something in the next week or so, expiring funds if you will, so I don't really have time to wait and see if there are any issues with the new systems or not. Thoughts? Oh yeah, I just joined Mac Forums, first post and all. Howdy!! :mac: [/QUOTE]
