Wow!.......2007-06-09

I am a professional Apple repair technician, and up until this point I had been using a 1.8GHz Power Mac G5 (single CPU) with no complaints. I hadn't been doing a lot of heavy graphics or editing work, so there really wasn't a need for me to get a dual processor G5 when I mostly did email, internet surfing, and word processing. Then things changed a few months ago, and I found myself doing more video and photo editing and processing. The 1.8 G5 started to show it's limitations. Still fast, but not as fast as desired. Slow enough to notice, anyway.

Today I got my hands on a Dual 2.0GHz G5. Wow! I was expecting about a 40-50% speed bump, but instead i have received a whopping 75% speed bump! Now, I am referring to the bump seen in processor intensive editing only. I have not seen as big of a jump in internet surfing or other more simple tasks, although I have noticed maybe a 10-20% bump there. This editing/processing bump has just blown me away, though. I had to come and share it with you guys. I mean it's really something. I'm still sitting here with my mouth open in astonishment as I watch it slash through tasks up to 4 times faster than before. And remember: I was already on a Power Mac G5. It isn't like I'm coming from an iMac or an iBook. Amazing.

Now I just pray that it will keep working! (In case you don't know, Apple Power Mac G5 desktops have a much lower reliability record than other desktops computers. Much lower. If you buy one of these, there is about a 10-20% chance that it will fail while you own it. I think this is compared with about 5% average in the rest of the market. I do hope Apple will do something about this going forward.) So if you are buying new or still under the one-year complimentary warranty, I highly, highly, recommend getting the AppleCare plan. I almost always preach against extended warranties for consumer electronics, but on a machine this expensive with a much worse reliability record, I think the rules are different. Plus, AppleCare treats you MUCH better than a standard extended warranty that you would get from most retail outlets.

Amazing Technology in an Amazing Machine.......2005-11-19

I converted to Apple computers back in law school, when I purchased my first Powerbook G4 (at the time, it was an amazing 400 mHz!) At first, I was very happy with Apple products: they were fast, easy to use, supported by amazing software developers, and oh so nice to look at and use.

This Power Mac DP G5, my eigth Mac computer since then, is no different. The technology powering this thing is amazing; the industrial design is incredible; the operating sound is amazingly quiet. I use this computer for anything from e-mail to Microsoft Office to web development. In every task, it purrs quietly and confidently, with tons of power to spare.

As a forced Windows user at work, I recommend every person who is unfortunate enough to have only a Windows computer at home buy a Mac. If not this Power Mac, find another Mac model for your needs. You will not be disappointed. If you are a current Mac user looking to get more from the wonderful OS X operating system and all it has to offer, I definitely recommend upgrading to something like this.

Best computer i've ever owned, hands down!.......2005-11-15

I use Mac's and PC's for work, and keep this as my computer for home. Both have there uses, but I like the OS for the Mac alot better.

This G5, replaced an old B/W G3, I had upgraded with a 600 MhZ G4. Night and day difference between systems.

The G5 runs really good, and fast; except for boot-up which seems to take about 40 seconds . . . but I have yet to see a computer boot up much faster then this anyway.

The software that comes with this computer is really good stuff. I was very impressed.

Pisses on the competition from a great height.......2005-11-12

having owned some 7 computers in as many years, i have to say that this is clearly the best by a long shot. it's my first mac and experience with the (formerly intimidating), tiger operating system. (i was brainwashed into believing windows is the most stable and user friendly os, hence its popularity and ubiquity).
i can safely say that i was grossly misinformed and my only regret with this purchase is not having made it sooner. this machine kills lawyers and all other pretenders within 100 yards.
no matter what you use a computer for, do yourself a favor, spend the extra money and get yourself a macintosh, and if you can afford it, make it this powermac. you will not be disappointed.

Raw power, great expandability, ease of use........2005-11-03

I've been using both Macs and PCs for about 12 years now. I prefer the Mac ten-fold over PCs. My latest Dual 2 Ghz G5 just reinforces that.

Among other graphics jobs, I edit video and create 2-D animation for broadcast, CD-ROMs, corporate, and internet. Yea, you can do this on the PC, but I get work done faster on my Macs.

This G5 is the third Mac in my arsenal, succeeding my Mac G4. As far as working with a dual processor machine, the Mac OS decides which application uses which processor. There are applications that can split work across both processors. These do benefit greater from a dual processor machine. But these are programs like Final Cut Pro and Photoshop that will benefit from splitting work across two chips. MS Word will not benefit. I've never waited for MS Word to finish rendering a document.

Adding on to the G5 is a breeze. With USB 2.0 and Firewire 400 & 800 ports, I have 4 external hard drives, a miniDV camera, my USB hub, scanner, and memory card reader all hooked up in harmony. Inside I have room for another hard drive and three PCI expansion ports. I upgraded the RAM to 2.5 GB for lots of work space those beefy video apps. Also, right out of the box (well, with an adapter) I'm running dual monitors. Not that I couldn't do that before since the Mac has been able to do that for about 12 years or so.

I can't tell you how much trouble I've had with my PCs and curse them every time something goes wrong. I don't have issues with my Mac. This is why I continue to buy Macs. Yes, they can be more expensive than a lot of PCs, but that's why people buy a BMW rather than a Hyundai. Besides, any cheap PC that is tricked out to do high-end work isn't going to be cheap very long.

Bottom line is if you want to get work done, buy a Mac. If you want to worry about crap infecting your machine, fiddling with spyware, and just use MS Word and surf the internet, get a PC.

Great watch.......2005-11-27

Oddly enough I'm a woman techy and enjoy this watch very much, although I wish they would make some more petite mpwatches. I have used this watch a few times at the gym and it's great.
PROS -
it is heavy duty and sophisticated
The look is really nice
Leather and silver is quality workmanship
VERY easy plug and play
Adapts very well with all headphones (with an adapter included)
Haven't used it for datastorage, but if you are a businessman looking for datastorage that is very simple and classy, this is the toy for you. I would use it for work if I were a Man.
LADIES - this is a great gift for your man
CONS -
Little heavy
Wish they would make one for women
The on/off button for the player is a little touchy but doable.

All in all for the price this is a great deal!!!!!!!

GREAT WATCH.......2005-11-19

My girlfriend got me this watch/mp3 player/file storage and so far it has been working really good.
but then again ive only had it for a few days but like i said, its been working good so far.
i do wish it had more storage space to hold more mp3 files but for 79. bux, its a great price, cant beat that.

Some DE100 carrier models support 80-pin single-connect (SCA) SCSI drive types. Options are available for an enhanced, bus-isolating "hot swap" capability (SCSI models) and/or a solenoid drive lock. Data Express is a product line of drive carriers and receiving frames which are compatible with SCSI or AT/IDE drive types and system interfaces.

Some family models also provide an ID select indicator and pre-integrated solenoid drive lock and/or fan. Options for an enhanced, bus-isolating capability are also available.
