Apple Upgrades Power Mac G5 Line
Posted by Kent Pribbernow in "NEWS" @ 08:00 AM
"Apple® today unveiled the fastest, most powerful Power Mac® G5 desktop line ever, featuring dual 64-bit PowerPC G5 processors running up to 2.7 GHz and including Mac OS® X version 10.4 “Tiger,” the world’s most advanced operating system. The new Power Mac G5 line delivers higher performance graphics options with more memory and built-in support for Apple’s breakthrough 30-inch Cinema HD Display on the 2.7 GHz model. The new line also includes larger hard drives, a faster 16X SuperDrive™ with double-layer support and 512MB of memory across the line."
The PowerMac lines gets a tasty speed bump, and dual processors! It's important to note, however, that the single-processor base model hasn't gone away. Apple is still listing it for $1499. Other than that, the new models look like a great value. I'm thinking of switching to a PowerMac for my web design work. Either that or a 20" G5 iMac. Which is the better value?
