If you make your own g5 system - make sure you get the 7800 graphics card.
The same problems that Aperture users have noticed also affect Catalyst.
The 6600 isnt do great.

Like many others when Aperture was released I ordered a new PowerMac to be able to run Aperture. At the time the nVIDIA GeForce 6600 was a recommended system. Sometime after the release of Aperture 1.1 it was moved over the minimum system requirements. While I do not expect Apple to maintain full backwards system compatibility I think this is certainly excessive. As it currently stands Aperture is painfully slow and all indications are the only fix is upgrading my graphics card to the GeForce 7800 GT.
