I'm planning on getting the G5 Dual 2GHz.
Would the graphics card that comes with it (NVidia GeForce 64MB) be sufficient enough to do Photoshop, Illustrator, and some Flash? I don't do any gaming at all either. Or should I upgrade to the 128MB card for $45 more?
I don't really know that much about graphics cards. Oh yeah, I will also be using a dual monitor setup (19" and 17") if that matters.
Thanks in advance.

I probably will. Anyone else?
I guess I'll try and see what more people think on Monday. Since it's the weekend and everyone's probably out relaxing today.
Happy 4th!

well does it comes with nvidia's gforce 64mb ? I am not sure about it, I thought it was cıomding with ati's radeon 9600 pro. Anyway if I were you I would definitely go with the 9800pro 128 mb. although it is not the ram that counts, this gfx card is highly recommended. Get it and you don't need to buy another in the near future.
so go for it.

I don't know macs, but I don't think you really need a lot of ram in your graphic card to run photoshop, (maybe for the acqua interface, lol) you'd better buy ram for the MB, or another HD, should be more usefull.

for 2d stuff (flash included), stick with the basics. If you're into 3d modeling, 3d games, 3d whatever, spend some money.

Thanks NTers for all the advice. I really appreciate the help. I'll go ahead and think about it some more along w/your suggestions.
Peace out.

Wait. Don't buy until you have tried the Goat Horn Gold's. The newest out and isn't expensive.

I guess I'm gonna get the 128mb in case I might need it later down the road. It's only $45 more.
