Apple Power Mac G5 Dual (M9457LL/A) Mac Desktop
 
   

Product Description

 
The Power Mac G5 puts tremendous creative firepower at your disposal. Your unfair advantages start with the PowerPC G5, the first 64-bit desktop processor, running at clock speed of 1.8GHz. Combine that with a 1.25GHz frontside bus, an advanced system controller, ultrafast 400MHz 128-bit memory and industry-leading expansion, and you begin to understand why the Power Mac G5 is the kind of machine a PC wouldn't want to compete for a job against. For design and publishing professionals, the Power Mac G5 lets you realize your ideas as fast as you can imagine them. The blazing-fast G5 processor renders huge images and layouts in no time, and with up to 8GB of memory, you have instant access to large files and assets. With the Serial ATA hard drive, built-in Gigabit Ethernet and high-speed integrated I/O support, you have high-bandwidth connections to printers, scanners, cameras, storage, networks and more.

New G5's with dual 2.5 processors are fast...

Date of Review:  Nov 2, 2004
The Bottom Line: Great linux-based workstation-level Mac at a high price.
Review: I recently purchased this computer for work in order to perform complex image processing analyses which can take hours or days at a time. This was previously done using PC's running Redhat. The configuration on this G5 was the dual 2.5 processors, 4...

Pros
Speed, beauty, ease of installation.
Cons
Price, minimal USB 2 ports
 

Very, Very, VERY, fast. Quiet, well designed.

Date of Review:  Oct 24, 2004
The Bottom Line: The premier Unix workstation (for the consumer). This is no home computer; large enterprise business uses the same machine (PPC970), and so does the US Army.
Review: This review will evolve as my experience with this Mac evolves. I am coming from a Dual 500 G4, and a PB G4 1.0GHz so the performance leap has been quite impressive. Having said that, I have been playing around with a dual 2.0 also at a friends...

Cons
Price is high. (that's pretty much it)
 

Now What?

Date of Review:  Dec 12, 2004
The Bottom Line: Apparently obsolete as of this writing
Review: When Jobs introduced this machine two years ago, he promised 3 Gigahertz. It's only at 2.7 now, and 3 will probably never get here; Jobs has announced barely two weeks ago that all newly designed systems will use, gasp, Intel processors. Well, this...
