If you want to run a pair of the 30-inchers (and make us all very jealous and your bank manager very cross), you'll need to pay £398 to upgrade to the NVIDIA GeForce 6800 Ultra DDL. The video card, a 256MB ATI Radeon 9650 with one singlelink and one dual-link DVI port, supports Apple's massive 30- inch Cinema Display. The stock Serial-ATA hard drive jumps from 160GB to 250GB, while the SuperDrive is now rated at 16x and can burn double-layer DVDs. Power Macs need memory adding in pairs, so you'll have to buy a couple of 512MB sticks or two 256MBs. All Power Macs now come with a stock 512MB of RAM - a real improvement, but we still recommend you boost your RAM to 1GB. The processors are faster, each with a 1.35GHz frontside bus - and it's that frontside bus that matters, as owners of the old single processor 1.8GHz G5s will testify.
