G5 Good Excuse for a New Machine
Since RF G5 has exposed the age of my machine (really only 3yrs), and to avoid all the cussing, it seems like a good time to rebuild: will stay with AMD chip (probably Phenom X4 or X3), but have doubled up on the video capability using dual 'SLI' cards w/ a couple of gig of GDDR3 memory, plus 4 gig DDR2 RAM on the 'Asus' MOBO... 'T-Direct' had everything to make a screaming gamer.
It's the low side of $5bills, but should do the trick: RF chg is good so I ain't mad at cha

Just got G5, may I say it installed flawlessly and runs like a dream. Looks fantastic! Here is my budget system that runs G5 just fine:
Amd 3.1 X2 Processor
4 gigs RAM
512mb ATI 4550 Radeon
I put the system together, with a nice power supply and on a decent motherboard, for under $400. By the way, I run G5 at my monitor's native resolution of 1680x1050. You don't need a supercomputer to run it!
I'm living proof.
Happy flying!
(Love G5!)
