Apple Power Mac G5 M9747B/A ... Gigabit Ethernet - MacOS X 10.4 - Monitor : none / Start your next project on the ultimate creative platform. Each of the dual-processor Power Mac G5 models offers lightning-fast performance, built on G5 processors running at up to 2.7GHz. A 64-bit processor with two double-precision floating-point units, two integer units and support for symmetric multiprocessing, the G5 combines an optimized Velocity Engine with a superscalar, super-pipelined execution core that can execute more than 200 simultaneous in-flight instructions. This high-bandwidth core has over 12 discrete functional units that process massive amounts of instructions in parallel.

The PowerPC G5 with Mac OS X Tiger offers a seamless transition to 64-bit performance: current 32-bit code - such the Mac OS 9 Classic environment and existing applications - runs natively at processor speed. With no interruptions to your workflow, and no additional investment in software required to take advantage of 64-bit power. The PowerPC architecture was designed from the beginning to run both 32-bit and 64-bit application code. This enables the PowerPC G5 processor to run applications natively for an immediate performance boost.

Not with the PowerPC G5; sealed and compartmentalized, its insides are laid out perfectly, and to top it off – covered in a snugly fitting Perspex casing (to eliminate dust build up!). For a starting price of £999 you can't complain. Apple...more

I study Interactive Media Design; it involves a lot of new technology and requires even more! The PowerPC G5 is an invaluable tool, particularly for 2/3D designers, video/sound editors, scientists and researchers alike. The new PowerPC G5 from Apple is by far the most superior and valuable tool for anyone within the new media industries. We have two design studios, comprising 8-12 of these beautiful machines, primarily set up as 'top of the range', 'high powered', video editing suites, with twin 30" Apple cinema displays (these are also stunning, and a must have for anyone who takes video editing seriously). I have had experience with video ...  Read the complete review
