advertising: PowerMac G5 Intro Video

[@DarkStorm210]

Welp figured I would add a bit of somewhat clarification ish, for those that look at the comments. The G5 is a very beautiful machine and was I would say ahead of its time design wise. I see a comment mentioning a Core 2 Duo beating the G5 and well yeah, it does beat a G5, reasons why Apple put them in Mac's, starting in January of 2006 with the Core Duo, it beat a G5 and allowed them to get the performance and then some in the laptops not to mention keep heat down, not counting the Mac Pro because that was Xeons on the 771 socket. For the time in 2003 both the G5 and Pentium 4 (Socket 478) were on the market and they were pretty much space heaters, who was hotter it is hard saying because in my experience both have kept me extremely warm in the winter no doubt. The thing that sucked the most about both Intel and PowerPC being around in this time is the capacitor plague, and Apple did have a thing going because of it. In 2004 Intel did come out with the Socket 775 which pretty much made the Core 2 series possible, the Pentium 4 was of course on that socket but the P4 was on a completely different set of things, the Core series has more in common with a Pentium 3 instead of the 4 because they went back a step and built from there. For the time it was something you definitely did not see much, not going to mention AMD because they were I believe at the time ahead of Intel until Intel started the core series, always been back and forth with them. Another stated obsolete from when it came out, well I honestly would respectfully disagree because even to this day they look great, as others have said they still look modern to this day, they were made for who used them, who came out on top again is hard to say because at the time in 03 when this G5 was out, Intel had the Pentium 4 which was a flop majority of the time, and then IBM's CPUs were so hot like the P4 was as well. Both were for their respected users either at home or in a business. I won't lie I do dislike the P4 because of the heat aspect. But I wont bash either one, I am more of an Apple user but I do also use a Windows machine (for Games). Added trivia I suppose is Apple announced they well switch to Intel throughout 2006 in 2005, and by the end of the year all of Mac's will have Intel CPUs in them, which they did meet that quota. These machine are still beautiful and there are a massive group for them still, even for the G3 and G4. They were something back in that time but now they are just a beautiful piece of Apple history, even if they had a rocky life, others are right they were an awesome computer, and honestly they still are to this day. May not be able to do too much on it but there are programs to get by which is why I use mine as backups in case the computers of today die like they usually tend to do until I move to the next. Long writing and possible repeating aside just little stuff here so if anyone wants to get into these machines to have or collect you can see what I think and what I have been taught with history for both sides, and not see others saying what was stated that I hope I clarified some. Wouldn't say use it as an every day machine though unless you want to get into finding work arounds :) If I of course missed something or something may be off feel free to correct. What some know can be fuzzy after a time after all.

Yeah im gonna convert a g5 to a atx pc, its the best quality case i can find

[@Sheepy007]

At 1:31 , they say they use SATA, but show 2 IDE harddrives

[@martinlutherkingjr.5582]

Weird, never noticed that. The G5 was so ahead of its time nobody knew what SATA connectors looked like, I guess.

[@TheJuanvisu]

@@martinlutherkingjr.5582 It Was not ahead on its time, that Was what Apple said at the time to sell this systems. At that time there were chips like the DEC Alpha which where better...

[@martinlutherkingjr.5582]

@@TheJuanvisu You missed the point, the point was many, but not all, people were using IDE hard drives at the time.

you gotta give em credit they really did sell this thing as a beast back in the day wonder what happened to them they just don't talk about apple computers like this anymore so sad

and 2 g5 is just whole lot weaker than a mobile core 2 duo cpu
