Question G5 iMacs

It's time for a new Mac for Mrs. Evo, and I'm ... um ... she's tempted by one of these



Reviews online seem good, but anyone used one yet? Comments?

Downsides seem to be graphics and memory. "unparalleled 2D and 3D graphics performance", yeah right - it's an ancient card and can't be upgraded, but in the end that doesn't matter, she doesn't play games. As for memory, it doesn't get enough by default and Apple prices are daft (£329 for a 1 gig upgrade !?!) but I think I can get that elsewhere. Apart from that it looks great.

Planning on ordering the 1.6GHz G5, 17" screen with a half-gig of memory, wireless networking and bluetooth keyboard.

PC v. Mac debate for the other thread, please
