Okay, so I need answers to two very important questions. B4 I begin, I feel I must explain myself. I will be entering college next year, and I am very interested in digital media (film, web design, photography, etc.) and I'm going to buy a new Power Mac. The two questions I have have to do with the Power Mac.
1) On the verge of WWDC, I'm going to wait till it's over to order a new one. But, should I wait even longer for an Apple Expo later in the year or something? How much does anyone know out there about the additions of the new power pc chips with dual cores? How long before they come out?
2) Secondly, the two computers I'm debating getting are the Power Mac G5 Dual 2 ghz, or the Dual 2.3 ghz.
Each would have the following-
256 mb nVidia card
1 gig ram
400 gig hd
etc.
The 2.3 is about $500 more roughly- which is the better choice. How much difference does 0.3 ghz make?
Thanks anyone who answers, and yes, I realize that that's more than two questions... more like two large questions with a bunch of little ones....
