Well this will put the cat amoung the pigeons, but has anyone been using Maya on a G5 yet?

How fast is it and how does it perform?

Also wanna know about the graphics cards the standard one (GeForce FX 5200 Ultra) ain't too bad but if anyone is using a G5 with an ATI 9800 please let me know how that performs as well...

Many thanks!

Ultragames-
Hmmm, interesting. Looks like the 9800 is a good graphics card. Make sure your friend gets a plastic cover for his new keyboard user added image

Well, I am beginning to think that not only do you loathe Macs but that your a bit of a tight-arse git - LOL user added image

Everyone else (especially Mac Users)-
Please let me know what you think of the new Macs. I have a fastish PC but I want a fast Mac too (I make a living using Macs so I have to have one O.K.)

P.S. I still reckon your a tight-arse user added image

You'd need to be with all that curry and larger you get through - LOL

You bloody barbarian - a vindaloo no less - I don't think my arse could take that fffffffffffffaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrpppppppppppp!!!

You have now put me in the mood for one - a curry, not a fart session - I normally have a ruby murray on Friday night.

BTW, rumour has it that the new G5s are in fact curry powered, that's why they have got all them ruddy fans in them LOVL!!! user added image

Ya know, i was looking at something. You can actually build a Mac from home, obviously not a "Mac" as that would be copyright user added image

but you can build a G5 from home, there is quite a few sites that sell the components. I know a guy who built a G5 himself for about £700, not too bad considering the price you buy them from Apple for.
