  • If you don't need the portability of a PowerBook then a dual G5 is the ONLY way to go, no matter what anybody else says. Unless you need to run VPC right now, in which case a dual G4 is the only way to go, regardless of what anybody else says.

  • My dual G5 shipped today, 9/20. I ordered on 6/26 and made several changes to the order since then, mostly deleting extra memory, extra disks, and extra interfaces, but kept the Radeon 9800 and Airport.
