Just out of curiosity how much of performance difference is there with the G5s between the lines with different amounts of RAM? How much faster are dual 2s & 2.5s from say 8 gigs to 4 gigs to 2 gigs? What would be the performance difference of the 2 with 2 gigs of RAM vs a 1.8 with 4 gigs of RAM?

    There's a decent comparison that was done over at xlr8yourmac.com on this very subject.



    Here's the link:

    I work at an ad agency that employs a decent amount of artists using a mix of G4 and G5 powermacs. I made sure that we're all running somewhere between 1.5 to 2gb each because of the benefits of having a decent amount of RAM. If I could get the boss to drop an extra 2gb in the G5's for the multimedia peeps, I certainly would do so.

    Dual 2.5 with 4.5GB of ram is really freakin fast
