*any* new (or even last model) iMac will blow the socks off your Dual G5.
CS3 is a full native Intel app, no problems.
sweet spot? whatever you can afford?
this is a really nice rig, $1899 a few days ago: http://store.apple.com/us/product/FB419L...TEyMDAwNTU
i would most likely go i5 quad core myself, but not sure if any of the adobe apps really take advatage of the extra cores? -- maybe photoshop might like the better 4850 video card...
edit: i wonder if the core 2 duo 3.06 with 8 gigs of ram would be faster than the 2.66 quad core with 4 gigs -- they would be the same cost -- gonna have to wait for barefeats to test them...
