Fuck can't decide!!!
 

I am buying another Mac G5. Should I just get the Dual 2.3 or should I shell out the extra and get the Quad 2.5?

Anyone work with both and see a big difference? or is the 2.3 good enough?

ARRRGGGH, I hate these sort of decisions.

ick Mac, close this thread quick!

Try not to crash you comp as you do that.

what are you going to be doing with it to warrant getting the extra juice? I can't think of many applications that the 2.3 wouldnt be MORE than sufficient for ... seems to me that it wouldn't warrant the extra cost. You could do without it, unless you just want to feel good about yourself and impress people.

Mostly editing video and making DVDs.

Good one! Good comeback

:1orglaugh serious, fuck macs :thumbsup

Have you ever owned one ? They are smooth machines and getting more and more compatible with the PCs every day ;)

:thumbsup

Working with a mac is like throwing a ball with your left hand when you're right-handed! Damn annoying and difficult!

why all the mac hating?

how much is the extra cost? damn i would love to get a quad but i think im fine with my dualcore :)

well, ive seen monkey working on macs :1orglaugh :winkwink:

It's about $1k more. But not sure I need it, i have looked at a lot of turn key editing systems and most of them are 2.3 duals with FCP. So I think I will just get that 2.3 and spend the extra $1k on beefing it up.

Thanks I'll take that as a compliment. Being ambidextrous is a sign of higher intelligence & skill.

its up to you :) goodluck bro :thumbsup

WDDC takes place in a month, where Apple will introduce new Mac Pros to replace Powermacs, I'd wait :-)

By a quad one, worthwile

Depends on your budget. If the money flows freely then it's pretty easy choice.

To all you Mac haters. Of all those who switch to Mac none ever go back to a using a PC. Of all the Mac users who switch to PC almost all come back to using a Mac. I have both. Literally everything gets done on the Macs. I just fire up the old PC every once in a while to see what my website looks like to the rest of the world.

:thumbsup Right :thumbsup

Why you gotta go and say that... now I know what i'll buy. the 2.3. cuz I will buy the Mac Pro when it comes out.

Money is not the issue, and I don't have a budget. I don't buy things I don't need. If the Quad is over kill and a dual 2.3 will do the trick nicely, why waste the money when I can spend it on other things.

I took your advice and went with the Quad... :thumbsup

that was pretty funny

Think it over before you decide compare the specs so you'll decission will be the best.

Too late, already bought the Quad.
