Rather than going to the G5 you could consider an old Intel Mac that can run
10.6. When my G5 failed I found a 20 in. 2009 iMac that would run my Adobe CS
apps and likely most other software used with 10.4.11. You can add your MDD
drives with external FireWire enclosure(s). The iMac can handle more RAM than
an MDD and I think a second monitor. And you get the benefit of a more modern
web browser if you need it.
I will admit the dual 2.5 GHz LCS G5 that replaced my MDD dual 1.25 GHz was a
step up in speed until its power supply failed. The G5 PS is difficult and
expensive to replace.
I still use a very old G4 Sawtooth with a very fast dual 1.25 GHz upgrade and 2
GB RAM for many chores and it is only a little slower than my old MDD but its
days are numbered.
