upgrade G4 or buy G5?
G5 Desktops (Power Mac)
Dual 2.0Ghz comes up to $2758.85
Dual 2.3Ghz comes up to $3448.85
Quad 2.5Ghz comes up to $4598.85
These prices are the normal prices with the tax added. This is CAN currency. They all come with something better than 128MB VRAM AGP cards. No G4 can equal or exceed the power of a G5 (so i hear).
Around where I live, Power Mac G4 AGP model CPU upgrades range from $359 to $1000, plus tax. Their power range from Single 800Mhz to Dual 1.8Ghz.
G5s are powerful, but pricy. G4 upgrading has more options and saves more $$$ but leaves out some power.
Should I buy a G5? Should I max out the G4? should I buy a cheap CPU upgrade for now and then buy a G5 later? I'm thinking of getting a cheap Sonnet upgrade for a lower price, saving up, and then deciding later.
Plz be honest; I hear that G4 CPU upgrades will soup up your G4 unbelievably. I also hear that G5s are Gods compared to any G4. Be honest, is a G4 upgrade really worth it? It may be lower price to upgrade, but it's also lower performance.
plz: don't suggest vendors (unless in Toronto, ON). don't say what sounds good (unless it's true). I use the mac for garageband, gaming, etc.
thnx for your time and replies--->be honest
