Which Mac?

[MR NINE]

Hi There!
Finally I'm able to upgrade to a new computer but got a bit lost among some options
I'm using PT Le with a Digi002r. Upgrading for HD in a few months.
One thing is for sure I'll buy a Mac!!! just got full tired of pc's and the bloody windows!!!
Question is: should I go for a G5 Pro or a imac will do the job?!?
Is this model enough or should I go higher?

pay attention if you're going to buy a system to work with PT HD, read all the stuff on the digidesign website.
You must have PCI (or better have PCI-express, uhm JAmes Murphy should chime in) slots for the core and expansion cards, so you cannot use that iMac.
go for a g5

Yeah my guess is your going to NEED a tower.

Yeah, you need a tower to even approach HD.

Ooops! I forgot about that pci issue! And the iMac ram is only expandable to 4 Gb and in a near future I guess that we'll need tons of ram for running heavy software & stuff so to speak.
So I should go for the G5 dual core 2.66ghz!
