This is only a feeler, as I'm not sure sure if I'm totally committed to doing this yet. I have a dual processor PowerMac G5 (2.0GHz) with 2GB RAM, Radeon 9800 Pro (128MB), 160GB HD, Bluetooth Dongle, and even possibly dual 17" LCD displays if anyone is interested. I'm looking for an iMac Core Duo 20" ONLY. That's all I would consider trading for.

The trade I'm looking for would be
PowerMac G5 for iMac Core Duo + $300 if both displays are wanted

Is this a fair trade?

Edit: This is a revision B machine

I am not sure i am right, but I think u are losing out on an excellent setup for a consumer desktop. Someone correct me if i am wrong.

The new Power MAcs will have to be beasts.

As this is a feeler, i'll add this


While the iMac intels can compete with PowerMacs, this is only for a little while, and for "Pro" software the PowerMacs win (and they have full speed PhotoShop until 2007,) In that time Photo editors who need Photoshop will likly buy a PPC powermac or hold out until intel PowerMacs with universal Photoshop. The PowerMacs also have the abilty to still smoke the iMac, bigger screen, bigger fast Harddrive, better graphics card, more RAM, ect


The PowerMac is a better Mac, but iMac intel is a better deal then the PowerMac, but if you need they features of a PowerMac what can you do but get one!
