G5 with 480p and 720p?

[wrinkster22]

Hi,
I am buying an iMac G5 (8,1, 1.8ghz, 512mb [upgrading that later] It costs $90 and includes a 'new keyboard', wired mighty mouse, and a 'wireless mac mouse'
It seemed like a really good deal and is in good condition. Would this machine be able to play 480p and 720p content. Mostly 480p though.
Thanks

You should be good with 480p

Sounds like a good deal, and you should be fine playing video as long as you listen to Zen State.

Fair warning, iMac G5's arent the most reliable ever macs put out.
