I never really had a chance to post on the performance of my new dual 2.5ghz G5 Powermac from Apple Computer. It truly is an amazing machine, super quick and beautiful to look at. The increase in performance over my 12" Powerbook G4 is remarkable. Photoshop starts up in no time and I can quickly and easily switch between Illustrator and Flash with only 1GB of memory installed. I have the machine attached to a 23" Apple Cinema Display and a 16.1" Sony LCD display and the video performance is fantastic. Great resolution and millions of colors on both displays. Both also hooked up using digital (ADC and DVI) connections. The USB and Firewire ports on the back of the Cinema Display are really handy but I wish there was one more of each on the back of the actual Powermac case. There is only one Firewire 400 port back there and I find that slightly limiting. Overall I would highly recommend any flavor of the G5 processor to anyone looking for a new desktop machine. It's quick and snappy and makes for a great computing experience.
