I still think the G5 is a bit faster... but that is my opinion.. The unit and all of the parts might be out of date but I works for me.... I still love the PPC platform... And t…

Yeah, because of fast disks and having 16gb of ram. If your G5 had a 2.5-inch 5400rpm disk and only 2gb of ram, the Mini would likely be faster. There's also the whole "real world…

I don't know.. I've got 16GB Ram, ATI Raedon X1900 Vid card... it seems like my G5 is faster....

Not really. 1.6GHz Core1 chips and 1.6GHz Core2 chips (the original mac mini and the original macbook air) outgun the G5s in memory and processor performance. Like, all G5s except …

I believe it was an upgrade. Radeon 9600 IIRC but I can check for sure tomorrow.

Huh interesting! Oh and My "Lets Play a Game" Thread is there :b&w:

Stock video card or 3rd party?

I thought mini's were supposed to be faster? Click to expand... If it's graphics, then no. a 2.3Ghz G5 will win out over a mini. Actually, a 2.3Ghz SHOULD win out over the min…

I recieved the Mini yesterday it is nice for a second Mac. It seems like my G5 is faster...or on par with the mini I installed 10.6 on the mini. the mini is the 2009 model... wi…

Sometimes keyboards just do that. I had a Dell keyboard a few years back, and the b, n, m, comma and space bar all went out at the same time. The day that happened (prior to the cr…

I have that same card (or similiar anyhow) and iirc you need to tape pins, but that is only if it would work the sapphire card I had had the cheaper bios chips or w/e and could not…

No, I tried to run xbench but when it was time to upload the results it said the server was not available, I thought it was little snitch but it wasn't

OK, I put the 2.3GHZ on ebay... I don't have enough space on the desk, I put it up for 550.00 and within 2 hrs it was gone.. buy it now. I had immediate payment option, so I looked…

My 2.0 is a dual core, the 2.3 was a dual processor. mine has 16GB ram, the 2.3's max was 8GB. The ram is not interchangable. the 2.3 was pciX, my 2.0 is pciE, I just bought a A…

What I did with the AP was to post it on ebay... Some one bought it for 30.00 bux... so in actuality I paid 195.00 for the G5...

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…

Thanks... It runs very good.... the previous owner never did any maint on it and then finding 2 screws in it floating around tells me that someone tried to do something... but they…

Wow thats an amazing deal!

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…

Family Guy is produced under OS 9. I've seen behind the scenes video. Pretty awesome to know that, even if none of you like the show. Click to expand... Where's this behind th…

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…
