Yeah ...i too am looking for a semi faulty imac g5.. The best part is....these individuls who sell the Ppc Macs think that these ppc are same as the current intel macs and demand high price.  But even if they are the same in OS platform...they are quite old.... Somewhere in the windows 98, millenium and xp era !  And still they want ro hike the price ! In Europe n US... My goodness ....ppc is dirt cheap!

Well, not really a beast during G5 era when we have Core Duo and Core Solo.

450 for an Emac is a bit pricey...i believe, unless it is in superb condition....

A g5 for 300 is good price... Which model of g5....

Back to PowerMac G3, the way you don't have to remove a side panel to do upgrades, is just plain awesome. A latch and put in yoir components and boom!


True...its super convenient...no screws to unscrew..

I think you have got it it wrong....

The one with the double G5 logo is a Dual Processor Model...like this one below
Attached Image

The one with the Single G5 logo is the last version of G5, which is a Dual Core...like this one below
Attached Image

The model with a Single Processor looks like this one below.

To sum it up, the model which you think is a SP is actually the Dual core model, the latest version of the Power Mac G5, before the Mac Pro replaced it. ...i have one of those Dual Core model, a late 2005 model.

G5 twins makes me remember the destroyed twin towers. Especially with the color cry.gif
The modded G4 case is awesome
Macbook does not qualify in this thread because it's an Intel Mac. I'm planning to put a 240GB SSD in my MacBook and 8Gs of RAM. Should be pretty shabby and nice to use. But for now, I need to fix the trackpad as I fuc*ed it up earlier when tearing apart it doh.gif

Dual core =/= Dual Processor.
Well, in the case of PPC G5, it is. But for like newer Mac Pro / equivalent PC workstations that has Dual Quad Core intel Xeons, Dual core =/= Dual Processor
UPDATE: My bad. I just realized his Dual Core has a large heatsink.

history.....

hackintoshers probably dunno this but OS9 was a speed demon.
during its day its competitors were like Win98/Win2k even WinXP.
it just blew them all away with fast boot times and access times.
i remember seeing somewhere someone modded his old mac laptop running OS9 with CF replacing the HDD the battery life swelled to 9hours with boot and programs loading as quickly as an ipad, except for stuff like PS of coz laugh.gif

OSX was pretty heavy until Lion came out then it started to be zippy again.
