What's on this page?
The Power Macintosh G5 introduced Apple's long-running tower style with its anodized aluminum alloy case, extensive cooling features, and its introduction to 64-bit processing. Used Power Mac G5s (some resellers call them reseller refurbished Power Macs) are in high demand due to their expandability and speed, especially with pre-Intel based software.
The Dual Core models were the only ones to use the dual core G5 processors, with two separate processor cores on one chip.
General Specifications of this model:
- PowerPC 970MP G5 processor
- PC4200 DDR RAM. Must be installed in pairs. Max: 16 GB in eight RAM slots
- Single and dual display support, with support up to 2560x1600 (1920x1200 on the end display with standard video card)
- 4 USB 2.0 Ports, 2 FireWire 400 ports and 1 FireWire 800 port
- 2 ea. open full-length four-lane PCI-E slots, 1 ea. full-length eight-lane PCI-E slot, and 1 ea. sixteen-lane PCI-E slot occupied by the video card.
- Two 3.5" hard drive bays
- Airport and Bluetooth slots
- Gigabit Ethernet
Advantages of a pre-owned G5 Power Mac:
- The fastest non-Intel based systems available
- Reliable design and architecture
- Very expandable
- Perfect for anyone doing high-end applications who, for a variety of reasons, doesn't want to, or can't, deal with the issues presented by the Intel processor
- For all but the most processor-intensive applications that have been optimized for Intel, the G5 offers the same speeds, now at a substantially lower cost
- A smaller percentage depreciation. In other words, the value of the G5 in trade in should be a higher percentage of purchase price than virtually any new machine purchased today
- A workhorse machine designed to last for years
- Can run OS 9 "Classic" as long as Mac OS 10.4.11 (Tiger) and lower is installed
