Used G5 2.7GHz for ProTools8/003 rig?

Hi All, I'm doing the switch to ProTools from Cubase and been looking at the iMac's etc. then figured used might be the route to go, I'm recording 3 piece bands and singer/songwriters, minimal samples but plugin heavy. Will a G5 2.7GHz Dual Core with say 4 GB of ram Tiger or Leopard run PT's 8 and a 003 factory ok? I understand Snow Leopard is causing problems currently. thanks for any help.

if the G5 is PPC (and not Intel based) it's a dead end Apple no longer supports it (no Snow Leopard)... and Digi from here on out isn't either It's a stable machine... but you are pretty much stuck but we could commiserate together!

Hey thanks, The commiserate is too funny. This is great Snow Leopard isn't quite there yet and the old G5's not Intel.:( Are the current G5's Intel based for future Digi advances?
