[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1470248, member: 56379"] -Depends on the price. If you pay too much for one of these PPC machines…that price may be close to a used Intel model. - Finding software for the older PPC machines is not that easy. So if you want to do anything with it other than internet & e-mail…make sure you have a source to get software. - If you decide to get a G5 based PPC computer…make sure that it comes with a hard drive…and that OS 10.5 is already installed. If you have to find your own 10.5 install disk…that's going to cost you another $75 to $100. - Also ask the seller for the 2 original gray DVD's that the computer shipped with…if the owner still has them. - Nick [/QUOTE]
