Buying a G5

[Mitchji]

[pd] ” I have a chance to pick up a refurb original dual 2 Ghz for a decent price and I’m wondering if it is powerful enough to run FCP 5 along with Motion. Does the original Dual G5 have PCI-X slots ?”

Hi,

It is powerful enough.

The original 2.0 has PCI-X and 8 RAM slots (just as important as PCI-X). You can verify the model number here (scroll down to “May 4th”):
