G5 or Intel? — #13

PS: Can G5's boot into OS9? Not run classic in OSX, but reboot with OS9 system folder? Click to expand... Yeah, what Christopher said, No. That's because G5 is a 64-bit process…

Not even all the G4's could boot into OS9 directly, you just had classic support under OSX. Click to expand... I think the last gen MDD were the non OS 9.

Thanks for the replies. I am interested in keeping up with Apple technologies but want to resort to the used market. I thought the G5's were a robust machine at a steal these days,…

G5 or Intel? — #7

If you're really on a budget I think a G5 can be a good buy still. From the sounds of your post though, 10.5/10.6 compatibility seems like a big deal and PCI/hard disk expandabilit…

G5 or Intel? — #6

I saw go with the Intel Mac. As mentioned by others, the G5 Macs do have reliability problems. The iMac G5s were all affected by the capacitor plague, despite Apple's repair exte…

G5 or Intel? — #5

For me, I would say Intel all the way. G5s seem to have a number of reliability issues - from faulty PSUs to liquid cooling systems leaking - if you Google around, you can see ima…

G5 or Intel? — #4

The only thing stopping me from selling my MacBook Pro and getting a quad G5 is the risk of not being able to run 10.6 when it comes out. I would much rather have a tower than lap…

G5 or Intel? — #3

G5's (towers) seem to be very pricey still. I think you are better off with an Intel if you plan on using it as your main machine for a few years.

G5 or Intel? — #2

Depends on your needs. Do you mind using software that isn't the latest? Do you mind, if you need software that comes out in later years that it may not be compatible? And, what …

I am just inquiring right now, but I was wondering what this forum's thoughts are concerning the pros and cons of G5 versus Intel. I don't necessarily need the latest and the great…

Gigabit Ethernet +Striped RAID = ? — #1

Can a PowerMac G4 boot from Striped RAID? So far both 10.2 or 10.4 won't do it. Jag boots to a KP, and Tiger goes to an Open Firmware problem. It says Code: DEFAULT CATC…

I was on my iBook G4 tonight, when the machine froze up. I thought it was due to having a lot of tabs open in FireFox. I did the Command-Option-Escape command, but nothing came up.…
