G4 vs G5 pricing

in Current Mac Hardware edited January 2014
I was just wondering if anyone cared to put there $.02 in on this. On the Apple site you can BTO a dual 1.8 G5 for around $2,500(specs below). What gets me is that the dual 1.25 G4 with similar specs (below) is only around $250 dollars cheaper. Why would someone purchase the G4 with such a small price difference between it and a G5.



G5 dual 1.8MHz $2,574.00

2GB RAM

80GB SATA

SuperDrive 8x

ATI Radeon 9600 XT 128MB Video Card



G4 dual 1.25MHz $2,324.00

2GB RAM

80GB ATA

SuperDrive 4x

NVIDIA GeForce4 Titanium 128MB

    i agree (though you didn't have to remind me how quickly my dual g4 is sinking in value...)

    The G4 can run OS 9 natively.
