[QUOTE="TRI, post: 1631431, member: 299820"] [b]Follow up[/b] I went to the seller's house to buy the 2.3 GHz G5 and it wouldn't start. To me it's really no surprise as the PowerMac G5's have seemed, from day 1, to be way overcomplicated and unfinished products. So I'm back on a Quicksilver G4 and have to say that after a year on a DP 2.0 PCI-X G5 the G4 does seem a bit slower, but not by much. The G4 is a much quieter machine and gives me the impression it's much more solid than the G5. I like it way better, except that it is 1.5 GB RAM and the G5 was 8 GB RAM, but still the G4 only comes off as being only slightly slower. This is on a 100 MB Photoshop file with about 25-30 layers.
