Is it time to leave the tower behind?
Posted: Tue Jun 13, 2006 4:04 pm
Hi there,
I have a love/hate relationship with my g5 dual1.8. It has been plenty powerful enough for my needs but I am tired of the noise and heat it generates. I don't have any PCI cards but I do have 4 firewire drives & two firewire interfaces. I don't use everything simultaneously though. I also have 4GB RAM. I'm toying with the idea of going Macbook Pro to replace the tower. Am I crazy? I know the tower has greater expandability, but I'm going to have to shell out some dough to either house this thing in some kind of iso box, or buy extendits & put it in another room (which really isn't too feasable).
How have some of you laptop users felt about only 2GB RAM?
This is of course assuming DP & Mach5 are binary when I do this.
I would love any insight or advice you guys might have. Thanks. Karl
