Oh yes, and I forgot to mention Macs. But, this is why I have big problems with G5s these days. I'm not a Mac basher or anything, but I feel things are not going that good for Apple as far as software support. Dual G5 2.0 packs a punch and the whole system looks and feels incredible but a lot of software simply doesn't work right on it. As long as you're using Photoshop and Final Cut Pro you would be fine, but for me it wasn't a choice simply because Web app support sucks, Whole Studio MX 2004 simply doesn't work right, Flash is still not fixed and runs like crap and a few other things. I just felt like paying a big price and not getting a fully functional machine. Again, that's me, I do 3D, web development on PHP but on MS platforms as well, use Studio MX 2004 and Flash to the max and Adobe feels a bit behind (I don't know if they started taking PCs more seriously and started neglecting Macs). The only things that work flawlessly are the ones made by Apple for Apple. So, if you can live with Final Cut and Avid stuff then I say go for it. Oh yeah and price is a bit higher then PC variants (around $5k with 23" Cinema display).
Boz out.
