hard to find a compatible version of most things with this setup. The included osx 10.3.9 is very unusable, hard to install any browser like firefox, chrome, you have to install an old version of opera in order to get basic things like youtube and facebook to work, but they work rather dismally at best. Came with 160GB hd rather than 80GB show.Ĭons: Comes with only 512Mb ram, that is not very usable in 10.5.8, u need at least 1GB to run more than one app at a time, you can buy 1gb on e b a y for under 20 bucks for a total of 1.5GB of ram. Every program runs very smooth and you can update to almost all the most recent apps like itunes, word 08, ilife 09, iwork 09 are all compatible with osx 10.5.8 and very affordable if you buy them used online. The Fx5200 graphics card can play youtube okay even in full screen mode but not higher than 360p on a 1440x900 monitor. Garageband 09 states that in order to run "learn to play" stable you need a dual core intel cpu but the g5 runs it very smoothly you just can't buy any more lessons it wont let you because it's not an intel chip. Got this mac and easily updated to osx 10.5.8 and runs it fine.

Pros: Runs very good, very quiet operation, quick resume from sleep. NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 Ultra with 64MB DDR SDRAMĭimensions & Weight Dimensions (H x W x D)Īdditional Information Date First Available Learn more about the Apple G5 (M9020LL/A) Model Brand
