Thinking of getting a g5 for DV/Motion Graphics . Since I'm dropping almost 4g's, might as use it for everything else right? So im wondering if any web/flash designers use a G5 or Mac and how is the preformance.

nah mang. writing html on a g5 is way over it's head. it can hardly handle word, so when you start getting into major code, i'm talking like a page or two it bombs out every time.
i'd wait until they come out with a quad g8 485.345gHz machine.

dude. it's a g5! hello! spend the 4gs, boost the ram and you can fucking control the space shuttle with the thing!

You should be OK as long as you don't try anything heavy like animated GIFs.

good point, i guess i'll downgrade on the g5 and use the rest of the $$ on whatever.

yeah, viewing CSS garden on IE mac will literally blow up!

well that's the problem.
ie and mac go together like masturbating and a pitch fork.
safari or firefox is where it's at.
p.s. don't masturbate with a pitchfork.

I can't believe this was a serious question....

it's a good serious question for any mac user that suddenly uses flash on a pc and realizes how awesome of an app it is when not used on a mac.
html, css, any other coding (minus ASP) is very nice on a mac.

there are web designers that use a mac, this question was for them. I'm not sure why they choose to, but id like to know from their perspective. I know web/3d is best developed on a pc while DV/Print is better on a mac.

dude you can do web design on a 266MHZ G3...
The G5 can do everything your asking, and get this,,, even 3D...whoa...
The Flash agrument is old- I use a dual 450 G4 as my main work machine and make a living developing mostly Flash sites..

i do web work on a G5. but a PC is way better for flash

all macromedia products work fine for me on my mac, but i choose to not do flash dev on it. plain and simple, i think macromedia made an utterly shit port of it for the mac. AMAZINGly better for the pc.

the only thing that ever makes flash nice to use is a ginormous monitor

spend Da money on dual 20 inch apples and a Nice Dual G5
