[X4U] which G5 iMac model is best?

[Dave B]

Well, if you like to do your own work, then get an earlier model  
without the iSight built in. It takes  less than a minute to open it  
up and have easy access to the RAM slots, hard drive and optical  
drive. The models with the built in iSight are much more difficult to  
open up, though the RAM slots are easily accessible. If you are not  
concerned with making modifications/repairs yourself, then get the  
newest/fastest/biggest you can find/afford.

In everyday use, the difference between the 1.8GHz and 2.0GHz models  
will be insignificant.

certainly use better English and a larger vocabulary to express more  
complex thinking.
