You can do almost everything with a G5! It is still a really good computer.
You know, I still use my powerbook G4 quite often as it is my only laptop. Here is my personal experience :
- Tiger is faster/lighter than Leopard on the G4 (don't know if it's the case on the G5 though)
- Web browsing is really good with Ten4Fox. Even safari 4 works quite fast under Tiger.
- If you want to watch your DivX movies, just install Perian and watch them in QuickTime 7.
- If you like watching youtube videos at full speed, just try MacTubes and set the videos to be displayed in MP4 / SD format. It is really fast on the G4 even in full screen mode. Also, there is no advert with MactTubes
- I have done a lot of video editing on the G4 and unless you really need HD, your G5 will be a fantastic editing station with the old Final Cut.
I don't know exactly what you plan to do with the G5 but no doubt it can be a really good daily driver!
