      Good day,

      I hope it is OK for me to post this question on this Forum. I am looking for hardware recommendations.

      I currently use the CS4 suite on a PowerMac G5 Quad with OSX 10.5.8, 4GB RAM.

      I also have a number of plugins and add-ons on the system.

      The machine is over 5 years old and it is starting to slow down.

      I am looking at getting a new Mac Pro, but hesitate as to which model to get.

      I thought asking other InDesign users would be the best way to figure out which machine to get.

      Thank you.

      Have you consider a Big high end iMac I know alot of people going in that direction rather than MacPro, our studio just went that way and for publishing I see no draw backs at all, fill up an i7 with as much ram as you can afford and you have a serious publishing machine, defo MacPro if you are dealing with video but otherwise I get great performance with CS5 and the iMac

      Good day,

      I did indeed consider an iMac, however with the investment in monitors and drives I have, it might not be the best fit. Which is why I was looking at a Mac Pro.

      I welcome further comments.

      Thank you.

      Well you seem to know what you want, so there you go, a MacPro it is.
