>"you could plug in newer gfx cards"

Is it worth it?
To me it is, particularly if this means I can uses something better than an X800XT.
I was using R400 cards in my G4 before we even had G5 support and they are more than a little dated.
And the power use of a G5 PowerMac is obscene.

Once I switch to an X5000, I intend to keep a G4 for an AGP system, and my laptop.
That's it, no more new systems until we support X64.

So this will be my last PPC purchase.
I might as well make it the best I can get.
