The Power Mac G5 Dual and Power Mac G5 Quad

luqman · 20th Dec 2005, 09:09 AM

apple came out with the G5 (4-proccesors)

am just wandering if i should get this for X-mas or not the top-of-the line one costs up to $3k and the low end is about $900-1k

Quad-Core G5 Processing
With two dual-core processors, at speeds up to 2.5GHz per core, the Power Mac G5 Quad doubles the punch of its dual-processor predecessor. Do the math: Quad-core processing means four Velocity Engines and eight double-precision floating-point units for blistering performance of up to 76.6 gigaflops. That means you can manipulate mountains of images or miles of footage. Crunch enormous data sets. Encode HD video or high-bit-rate audio. All at speeds you never imagined possible.

the NVIDIA Quadro FX 4500, the industry’s fastest workstation graphics solution, for rapid-fire effects, 3D animation.

so if u have any comments or anything else plz reply back

If you are doing serious graphic design then this is the machine for you.

I would like to have an imac mini too - it's very stable.
