The refurb prices are damn good so this might be the best time to sell the g5 dual 1.8 and upgrade. I could max out the ram in the g5 but it's 4 years old and just doesn't make much sense to me, new machine = quicker work flow or at least the machine is waiting on me not the other way around. So is the extra four cores, faster memory worth a extra $400, anyone seen a better deal on the mac pro's than the apple store online(refurbished). This machine would be for finalcut/dvd studio and adobe cs. I am close to pushing the button today.
