John,

Neither is an ideal machine. 64MB VRAM (and other video card factors) is not sufficient to run all Photoshop features. But the G5 may also need a video card upgrade (check Adobe's list of appropriate cards), which may or not be practical. And more and more apps are being developed for Intel only, so you are buying dated technology either way.

I'd be looking into a more capable Intel machine, either second-hand, refurbished, or as a lease (if for business).

Neil
