They will work. The Mac Pro can take advantage of the newer SATA drives (3Gb/s drives) while the Powermac G5 could use the newer drives but only take advantage of the 1.5Gb/s speeds.<br><br>my beer blog

Spaghetti man, I think you should put your money into a new Nikon D3 instead of a MacPro. It would be much more useful for your summer in Italy. Think about it.<br><br>------<br>"Take that some place else."

i am using grant dollars that are budgeted specifically for a new computer. i doubt i could justify a camera instead. i have a secret stock account that could possibly buy a D3 (depends on AAPL though), but i was hoping it would buy an HD video camera early next summer and that my D70 would still be going strong. that's my hope anyway.<br><br>probably the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Canon-HV20-Definition-Camcorder-Stabilized/dp/B000MUV6BA/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/102-7560625-5930504?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1187977636&sr=8-1">canon HV20</a> (or something better if it comes along by about May of next year).<br><br>

That or the D300. I totally agree with you on that especially since they have the new macbook and macbook pro!<br><br>my beer blog

'Secret' stock account? Secret from who?<br><br>

Getting old. Time to be put out to pasture.<br><br><br>

That is good information to know, thank you.<br><br>

little checks i've gotten for this or that -- insurance rebates checks, birthdays, x-mas, reimbursement for miles from work, etc. i took all of the checks i received and placed them into an investment account and started investing. not really a secret account, but it's an account that i get to use it for anything i want. i almost used some of it to buy an iPhone and then decided to wait for at least version 2.0. now i am not so sure. hmmm.<br><br>

Oh, so more like a 'stash'. Not so much 'secret'. <br><br>I got me one of those, but the money isn't really doing anything. <br><br>Financial adviser, line 1!<br><br>
