Setting up my new Dual 2.5GHz G5

Posted on September 19, 2004 | Filed Under Apple

Earlier this week, my new Dual 2.5GHz G5 Power Mac arrived. It took me until today to find enough time to get it setup and running, but it’s an awesome setup. A 23-inch Cinema HD display and my G5 now sit on top of my desk — the first time a desktop system has been on top of my desk in years.

Apple’s desktop systems have been nice looking since the Blue & White G3, but not enough to make me want to put them on top of my desk. I usually put the monitor on top and leave the machine under the desk, but when I took the G5 out of the box I cleared the top off and put it in place.

What’s really strange about this is that the 2.5GHz isn’t my first G5. I had a dual 2GHz, but it seemed more to do with work than pleasure, so under the desk it went. I haven’t had a lot of time to play around with it too much today, but I’m really looking forward to loading up Final Cut Pro, Photoshop and some other large apps to see how they perform.

I loaded it up with 1.5GB RAM and threw in an AirPort Extreme card, so I’m ready to go.
