I think you got a good deal on the machine. I'd pay $225 for the machine. Although I would more than likely offer only $200 as I wouldn't need the AP card since the only things in…

$225 is the cheapest I've heard of for a G5. Around here they go for $650 up (some guy was asking $2000 on Craigslist - good luck!). Except for the water coolers, they are built li…

You have to remember that the G4's are a little older than the G5's and the G5's are a little older than the MacPro... But in the end it's up to the person who uses it nd what the…

If thats US$225, I think you paid a fair price for it. If you ask me, most PowerPC systems are massively overpriced these days, and I suspect that the values of most PowerPC system…

My 2.3 was introduced a little bit before the dual cores... so it's not that old, maybe in computer years but its still a VERY capable machine... 2.3 GHz dual 512/160 introduced 2…

It all depends what you are going to do with it. $225 for a G5 you intend to use (and is up to the challenge) as your main mac is a good price, but $225 for something to add to you…

Yeah, here in Australia, they commonly go for $800 - $1200...I don't think i've ever seen a G5 go for less than AU$800, ridiculous, if you ask me. Personally I think you paid a go…

The thing about 8 GB is - theoretically you can install onto a single partition 120 GB drive using another Mac, then move it to the target Mac and it will boot. However, the instan…

Now I cannot install 10.2.8 — #5
