Future uncollectable computers...

For those of us with the very early G4's and older, a G5 would be an awsome upgrade. Like I mentioned in a previous post, I have one of the original G4/450's, it's almost 4 years old, and it's starting to feel a bit slow. I mainly have speed problems in Adobe Photoshop, Adobe InDesign, and when compiling something. Actually I wouldn't mind speeding up mailbox operations in Eudora either (the OS X version is a lot slower than the old classic version I was using). On the G5, the combination of Hypertransport, faster RAM (PC3200 DDR vs. PC100 SDRAM), AGP 8x vs. AGP 2x, SATA vs. ATA66, USB 2.0 vs. USB 1.1, a 4x DVD-R/W drive, and lastly a significantly faster processor (or two significantly processors) make for a very good case for me upgrading. However, I'll be limping along with my G4/450 for probably at least another year. Zane -- -- | Zane H.
