    My first post here - maybe I should finally stop lurking :-)

    I've been using an iMac iSight G5 20" for the last few months for MorphOS. I think it's a good balance between computing power and electrical power consumption. Works really well (WiFi fine, dual monitor works once firmware mod has been applied, most web pages reasonably quick via Wayfarer with Youtube etc. playback pretty fluid), the only issue with this model seems to be a tendency to overheat (I have to run the fans at maximum or a the hard drive controller locks up forcing a shutdown and some cooling off time).

    Cheers,
    Nigel.


    Can you please tell me more about this firmware mod for dual monitors and how it works?

    Any links?

    Thanks!


    The OP will need to confirm this but I think it is this

    ScreenSpanning software on OS X but it will basically do a OpenFirmware patch which enables extended displays, more resolution choices and if wanted clamshell mode on laptops.
