Apple Dual-1.8GHz Power Mac G5

Great! With my 512mb, I can have about 5 design programs running and working without slow down... I have a g5 at work and the fans seem much more quiet than my own g5. With 1 gig of ram - I believe I could open all the programs in the dock and still...

Speed, Beauty, Memory. Quiet for it's speed and size

Humongous. Loud Superdrive. I don't believe I've ever heard a computer with such a loud CD drive

Apple Dual-1.8GHz Power Mac G5

Multi-Processor power; up to 8 GB DDR 400 3200 RAM Limit; Four PCI-X expansion slots; Stylish, elegant design; Easy open case with 9 whisper quiet fans for cooling. An strong package that works hard

OEM Video Card (Mine's an ATI 9600 Pro/64MB DDR SDRAM) is not up to the system's abilities; lack of hard drive upgradability is disappointing unless you go with a PCI-X SATA RAID upgrade-espensive
