![]() Even if your parents don't use any new software, PowerPC is becoming less supported as the years pass by. ![]() Proenca, I still have my PowerMac G5 2GHz and it's still an adequate computer but as hughvane stated the issue is the Intel vs PowerPC chip. I know they would be super fine and happy with a MacMini ( intel ) but can a Powermac suffice ? Is it much slower than a Mac Mini 1.8 ghz core duo intel for example ?Ĭlick to expand.The PowerMac G5 is not an iMac so it will also need a monitor and keyboard. Is the speed of a PowerMac G5, but Macmini C2D standards, too slow ? Its an online store so returning the Powermac is a nono. I had my old and trusty Powerbook G4 1.0ghz there and my Mom found it DEAD slow. Very light stuff that a G4 can do I know. I was planning to buy them a MacMini so I can VNC from home and fix any problem or explain any issue but this PM G5 got me wondering.įlash based games ( dont even ask why. So I ran into a store that is selling Powermac G5's CHEAP, I mean dirty cheap. My parents, as usual, keep bugging me to fix their computer - Windows. I own and owned my fair share of mac's - currently I have an intel Mac Mini as a media center, my wife has a MBP, I have as a desktop a MacPRO Xeon and have a MacAir myself.
