Used Power Mac G5 PCI-X/2.5 GHz Dual Processor

The Power Macintosh G5 introduced Apple's long-running tower style with its anodized aluminum alloy case, extensive cooling features, and its introduction to 64-bit processing. Used Power Mac G5s (some resellers call them reseller refurbished Power Macs) are in high demand due to their expandability and speed, especially with pre-Intel based software.

Advantages of a pre-owned G5 Power Mac:

• The fastest non-Intel based systems available
• Reliable design and architecture
• Very expandable
• Perfect for anyone doing high-end applications who, for a variety of reasons, doesn't want to, or can't, deal with the issues presented by the Intel processor
• For all but the most processor-intensive applications that have been optimized for Intel, the G5 offers the same speeds, now at a substantially lower cost
• A smaller percentage depreciation. In other words, the value of the G5 in trade in should be a higher percentage of purchase price than virtually any new machine purchased today
• A workhorse machine designed to last for years
• Can run OS 9 "Classic" as long as Mac OS 10.4.11 (Tiger) and lower is installed
