The Power Mac G5 Quad may seem expensive, but it's a bargain considering the additional processor cores. There's no reason for any professional facility not to upgrade because the equipment cost will quickly be recouped in the form of higher productivity

Blazing multimedia performance for professionals. Two cores in two chips equal hiccup-free performance. 1TB of drive space. Future-proof PCIe and DDR2 technologies

nVidia Quadro graphics are overkill. Very expensive. Not compatible with DDR SDRAM and PCI/PCI-X expansion cards used in previous generations of Power Macs. Only 90 days of included tech support

Speedy video card ; Dual Gigabit Ethernet jacks support advanced networking options ; Huge memory capacity ; PCI Express expansion slots ; Two dual-core processors deliver substantial performance gains in many applications

Cooling fans noisy when system is under heavy load ; Limited performance gains in many routine office and even Photoshop tasks

Very good performance ; Excellent graphics capabilities ; PCI Express slots ; Huge memory capacity

No backward compatibility with PCI or PCI-X cards ; No improvement in performance compared with dual-processor model

Lots of bang for the buck ; Comes with more RAM and larger hard drive ; Double-layer SuperDrive

Smaller hard drive ; No PCI-X slots ; Half the memory capacity of the more-expensive models

Up-to-date graphics. Quiet. Bright, brilliant 30-inch widescreen display. Supports up to 8GB of memory. Case is easy to work in for upgrades. Speedy 16X dual-layer DVD writer.

No external speakers in package. Highest-end graphics card required for 30-inch display support. Pricey with all the options. No dual-drive RAID at this price.
