[QUOTE="PowerBookG4, post: 195865, member: 8394"] I think you have well thought this out, I do say that buy the best machine that you can afford, if money is no object to you, then get the quad, if it is, then get the 2.3. Both systems are good and will last you a long time, and I think that the quad will be able to support operating systems well into the future, the only problem with it is like you said the fact that it is ppc. In the future they will drop the ppc line of software but not until 5-7 years (even microsoft promised to support it this long) So you should be fine with any kind of software you choose. As for the ram, 2GB should be fine enough, but keep in mind that is really one gig, for each processor, if you want 2GB for each processor you will have to get 4gb. [/QUOTE]
