Need advice. Keep G5 or buy a new quad 2.5G.????
My SYSTEM
MAC dual G5 2.5 gig. 6.5 gb RAM.
Apple 23″ display / Samsung 17″ LCD / Sony 1944Q Production monitor
Blackmagic Decklink Extreme card v5.2.4
OSX Tiger w/10.4.3 upgrade
FCP 5 w/ 5.0.4 upgrade = production Suite
1 300gig scratch disc
500GB G-Raid Firewire800
Decks = Beta-SP, DVCpro, DigiBeta.
Audio Mix = Mackie 1604 VLZpro
I believe I have the stock display card
Panasonic AJD-230H DVCpro deckMuch to my disappointment at NAB, I find that most of the HD cards are PCIe and not PCix. Is it worth selling my Dual G5 2.5G
now while I still can get something for it and buy the G5 quad 2.5G system? Both AJA & Blk Magic make PCIx cards but am I just stuck in old technology.
Thanks in advance -

AJA’s Kona 2 and LH cards are still very much in use for PCIX customers.

seeing the performance of a MBP with FCS5.1, the Intel towers are worth waiting for.

Yes, and the LH is an amazing bargain at $1600 street… HD and SD analog
