I disagree, I do programming language research on a 1.25GHz G4 PB with 512MB of RAM, and it does the job just fine. A Mac mini will offer the same sort of performance, at much less cost. Heck, if I were handed $2k right now, I'd get 4 minis and make a little Xgrid cluster out of them, over buying a G5 tower. (The fact that my research *SCREAMS* for gridding is the reason I'd do it.
