I am planning to order the dual 2ghz, but the ram seems extremely expensive... is this same ram also available at the pc market? is there a cheaper way to get this ram?
apple price:
8 gb ddr400 sdram (3200) =
5000 dollar !!!
4 gb ddr400 sdram (3200) =
2400 dollar !!!

...But I have no idea, if they fit in a G5, normally they should, but I dont know exactly the specs, so I guess best thing would be to buy the minimum RAM from Apple, check the specs and buy then not so expencive compatible RAM at the next computer shop around the corner or online...
Apple RAM have been very expensive since ever.

thanks for links...
I know 1gig is plenty enough for regular photoshop work... but at the moment i have a lot of work to do in after effects, and the preview ram is really too time-consuming.

i think crucial's prices are great plus you get free 2 day shipping.
i've used their memory for years, no problems. a gig of ram for the Dual is like $200.
