Hi all .

I'm contemplating buying one of the new IMacs, either G5 or Dual Core, at 17'' or 19''. Has anyone been using them? How do they run SL. What should I be looking for? Be weary of? Can I put just any graphics card in them?

Thanks in advance for any info you can provide :)

Hi Stephane, I'm using the MacBook Pro with the dual core Intel processor and SL is very fast! If you look at the Mac Duscussion forum, within the technical Issues forum, you'll see a lot of anecdotal stuff. But the bottom line is that the alpha of the universal binary runs very well, and the preview of the next version of sl is already a universal binary.

the G5s are the past, they are the older PPC machines that apple is phasing out. Unless you really need a PPC mac, your better of getting an intel Mac.
