Holy crap, I can't believe that PS under rosetta is faster than the G5s.

Oh ye, did you get the 160GB HD, if so, how much of it was used with the default config, coz when I got my iMac G5, I only had about 130GB available, which I thought was absurd

Great to know about load times, but has anyone mentioned filter times??

OK, so here's the real question: have you tried booting Windows from an external drive? This is the only mystery that needs to be solved before I place my order. I'm still depend…

I have an AlchemyTV PCI card in my Dual 1.8 G5, but it is the one w/o the builtin TV Tuner (I use my VCR as a tv tuner). When I bought my AlchemyTV card, I was told that the one w…

Hey, I had the Miglia card and it will now work with a G5! You can get them Very inexpensively and it is GREAT for watching TV. On my G4 it wasn't powerful enough to be a DVR and…
