154478, No. The next version of OS X is Intel only.

You will regret it.
Only a fool or a collector(also foolhearty) would cop a PowerPC Mac.
Just my opinion.

154594, not entirely...depends on the needs...I'd cop that ish if it was a quad

154601, but what are you going to do with a computer you can't very well update
Posted by Nukkapedia, Mon Jun-23-08 12:20 AM
and for which new software/hardware is already being phased out?

154638, dude, a PowerMac G5 Dual 1.8 GHZ?....I can easily update that shyt

if I needed too...its not a
I use 4 machines in the house and the powerbook (bronze key) I use has been through 3 OS systems....its not hard. Its almost impossible to keep up with progressing technology unless you have long money to keep getting a new computer every 2 years. People still use software for the PPC machines believe it or not.

154707, that's true. It's just that I've heard that Snow Leopard may be
Posted by Nukkapedia, Tue Jun-24-08 09:44 AM
Intel-only.
I guess it all depends upon what you plan to do with the Mac.
|
154740, but they wont stop security updates for regular leopard...
Posted by My_SP1200_Broken_Again, Tue Jun-24-08 02:21 PM
....i still get Tiger updates now ....just the overall next OS wont be PPC compatible right?
|
154755, right. It's still sort of speculative, though
Posted by Nukkapedia, Tue Jun-24-08 11:54 PM
Apple apparently told the developers that, at this time, there won't be a PPC version. They might still push one through; Snow Leopard won't be out for a good minute.

154785, the specs are out there and it REQUIRES an Intel chip

PowerPC just got its eulogy.

154670, Only if...
Posted by handle, Mon Jun-23-08 04:10 PM
Only if it's a model that has, and you need, PCI-X slots.
I sold mine for *exactly* what I paid for it to an audio engineer who needed the PCI-X slots for a DigiDesign board.
If you don't care about slots then get an Intel Based mac.

154792, that would make a great linux box. iono about that price tho
