[QUOTE="docinsano, post: 751970, member: 29287"] I say go for it. Although I couldn't afford a G5 at the time, it was what I would've gotten. I have a G4 MDD instead, and most programs work fine with PPC as they are Universal. However, more and more programs, as stated above, are leaning towards intel only. Look for the "Universal" logo on your software to find out if it'll run on a PPC mac, then decide. Edit: I would pay no more than $1,000 for a G5. They ran around the 600-800 range when I was shopping for one two years ago, so maybe a little cheaper now? And yes, I do believe you can run the latest OSX on a G5. No, you cannot run windows on a PPC mac, only macintels can run OSX and windows. [/QUOTE]
