Keep your Cube and grab one of the NEW dual 1.25 GHz G4s w/2MB L3 cache EACH MDDs for $1599 from Apple or Small Dog (if you're a member). Two months ago this computer cost $2400 REFURBISHED with nothing more than a slightly larger HD, SuperDrive and 256MB more RAM. These are NEW now. If you hesitate you will not find one for sale. I predict a huge PowerMac drought in late July until October due to the long cue for G5's already sold. k On Wednesday, June 25, 2003, at 07:17 PM, John Breedlove wrote: > I am more and more, these days trying to work on large 3d files and it > is during these times the G5 disease is most painful. > > Please advise.
