Fair enough since most of the current Mac's only support 4GB RAM, and
that isn't enough for me. I'm trying to decide if I should rip out
1GB RAM to take mine up to the full 8GB. Moving from 5.5GB to 7GB a
couple weeks ago really helped performance wise. I've not maxed out
the disk space, I have a 750GB and a 1TB drive, not two 1TB drives
(will the G5 take 1.5TB drives?).
I really want an 8-core Mac Pro with 16GB RAM, and to start adding
1.5TB drives to it! :-) Though if it wasn't for my digital
photography, I wouldn't even feel a need to upgrade my G5! To me
that speaks well of a 5 year old computer.
Realistically I think this says more about how the top of the line
Mac's are so far ahead of the curve, than anything. The sad thing is
system won't even be supported in 10.6 from what everyone is hearing
(I'm still at 10.4.11).

Can any pre-Mac OS X system run a browser that
supports modern
websites? This was the problem that caused my Mom to upgrade a
couple years ago. Besides now that they've been selling
Intel-based Mac's for a few years, doesn't the G5 2x2 I'm using
count as an "early" Mac? :-)
Any system that supports 8GB of RAM and 2TB of internal storage
counts as "current enough" in my book. :)
