Can i move the ram and even the hard drive from an imac g5 to an intel imac easily? i have to buy a new computer for the office, and want to switch around the intel imac for the g5 i have at the house. i would like to keep my 2g ram and 400g harddrive so i can buy a cheaper intel imac.

You could move both the hard drive and the RAM, but the RAM wouldn't work. The hard drive would, though. But I remember hearing reports that the Intel iMacs aren't as user accessible.

Note that you could use the hard drive, but you wouldn't be able to boot from it until you reinstalled the system.
