G'day,
I'm just about to part with my hard earned cash and buy an ex-demo G5 tower
and wondered which was the better option: the 1.6 or 1.8 gig single?
Do you own one of the above machines and if so what issues (if any) have you
had with it over the last couple of years?
I've heard that are slight problems with the fan (ie it's a bit noisy now
and then), is this something to be concerned about and should I ask the
Apple Reseller to sort it out before I buy? It comes with a 12 month
warranty so hopefully I should be covered if things go t i t s up...
I currently have a Pismo which is cool as but a little on the slow side now
that I'm really starting to get to grips with Adobe's Creative Suite for
Graphic Design and Mapping work.
What about running Virtual PC on it, or is this a big no-no? I'm forced to
use PC's at work for GIS and mapping work; as ESRI, MapInfo, et al, can't
see past the end of their noses' and think that there is only one OS/Pl!
atform in the world, but that's another story (there loss, not mine)...
I think it will be a while before I outgrow the G5 me finx *:)
Any help/advice/thoughts would be most appreciated.
Cheers guys (and girls),
Simon
