[QUOTE="Malcy, post: 171404"] I want to switch to Mac and was looking at either a Power Mac with my existing 19" monitor or a 20" iMac. I was thinking about a second hand system from the cost angle, G5 power Mac or G5 iMac. I see G5's of both model advertised on eBay in 1.6, 1.8, 1.9, 2.0 & 2.1 GHz at the lower end and was interested in their relative speeds as there is a big price difference. Would a 1.6 be vastly slower than a 2.0? Are there any other issues, the 1.6's are obviously 1st generation - do they have problems. My current pc has an Athlon 2500+ cpu & 1Gb of memory if that helps. I bought my dad a Mac mini 1.25, which he loves. It does feel a lot slower than my pc though. My uses are web surfing, DTP, word processing, digital image processing and video processing. [/QUOTE]
