[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1033323, member: 56379"] A small correction. There's no such thing as a "Mac Pro G5". If this is a tower style computer...It's either a Powermac G5...or a Mac Pro...it cannot be both. If this computer is $400...it's probably a Powermac G5. Powermac G5's although great computers...have a PPC processor in them...which is basically "dead" technology. With $400 (and maybe $100-$200 more) you would probably be better off getting an early iMac or MacBook with an Intel processor. Intel processors have been in Macs since 2006...and is the current technology. As far as a program to "stress" a Macintosh computers system...I'm not aware of one. There are programs for benchmarking...but "stressing" I think is different. One good way to "stress" things is to play a bunch of You-Tube videos. Hope this helps, - Nick [/QUOTE]
