Apple PowerMac G5 (g518fcp) Mac Desktop 


Newbie Review by Greg Macintosh Newbie Product Reviewer:

This G5 PowerMac was one of the first created when Apple teamed up with IBM to use their new 64-bit processor technology. When all the techy talk has been bypassed and we understand that it makes many tasks easier and quicker and that the engine is suitable for all those power-hungry tasks like graphics and monster spreadsheets, we can get down to the simple numbers. A single G5 processor rated at 1.8 GHz powers the show and is ably supported by 512MB of SDRAM and a 160GB hard drive. Apple's excellent SuperDrive is also installed along with a the very capable NVIDIA GFORCE graphics card.

Pros:

Fast G5 processor and plenty of storage

Cons:

Will need a memory upgrade to keep it up to date
