If I checked it well according to a picture with modelnumber it is compatible 2.5Ghz with Radeon9600XT ?

And Another one http://www.hammertime.be/lot/lot-details/11820/1-pc-apple-power-mac-g5

Not sure I should pay more because of the cinema display included.

And what should be a fair price ?

Be aware that 2.5GHz come with the 1st generation of liquid cooling, very prone to failure.

Not a big issue if you can do some basic plumbing.

... liquid cooling, not sure I like the sound of that. They come from a recent liquidation so I hope they were in use until then and they didn't find it somewhere in the basement.

Don't be intimidated by the cooling system.
I have had two different system that have had the older Delco coolers and they were both fine.
And rebuilding these only requires a few parts.
Further, the 2.5 is the second fastest G5 currently supported.
The system has a compatible video cards and its current price is pretty good.

What would be considered the fastest. But also compatible. I'm a little confused by the compatibility list. Does the sound work on the G5 A1047

I'm looking to upgrade especially after seeing the following video on youtube

Pretty Impressive !!!

Why? It says that "Only PowerMac 7,2 and PowerMac7,3 (A1047) are supported", which shouldn't be confusing at all.

Sorry just above that it says

* * * * - NVIDIA GeForce2 MX and NVIDIA GeForce4 MX/Titanium cards found in some PowerMac3,x models are not supported. Also, audio is currently only supported for PowerMac3,4 to 3,6 models.

Well, there are four stars next to that text, so that refers to PowerMac G4, not G5. The latter's got five stars, and for five stars it says:



* * * * * - Only PowerMac 7,2 and PowerMac7,3 (A1047) are supported.

Much appreciated thank you so much

If it is a model 7.2 or 7.3 everything inside it will be supported. The gfx card too.

Funny thing is that my G5 broke down, but it wasn't because the liquid cooling had failed. It was because the heat generated by the computer had loosened the soldering until they became useless. Still, it had a good 2 year run on MorphOS.

...unless it's one of those:

Huh? Isn't the 1.6 GHz model supported?

I was referring to the stock graphics card, which is an Nvidia one. See also:

The same is true for the other 4 referred models.

Aha. Well yes, but they can be replaced.
