I've recently been granted a $2K windfall by the powers that be. Since I am an arts major I figure its high time to get off the PC and into a comfy new mac.
I have been looking with great admiration at the G5 line, but hey, I'm a college student and have things I need to spend money on besides a computer (paint, canvas, clothes, new glasses, software, etc)
SOOOOO.....
I got in here and found a reference to the Mac Master's site, and dual 1.25GHz G4s at $1600 bucks (dont know where the other poster got his 1299 information but it is not borne out at MacMasters.com)
At any rate there are some killer deals over there.
So before I drop a wad of cash on anything I wanted to gather some opinions -- is the difference in performance between the single proc G5 at 1.6 GHz and the dual G4 at 1.25 significant? wouldn't the dual G4 run circles around the G5? Also, has anyone heard of any single to dual upgrade path for the G5? Dualies are where its at
Any other gratuitous advice would be greatly appreciated
Cheers
