Hi,
I have a G5 dualcore with a PowerPC cpu -- NON intel. I want to upgrade my Adobe CS2
My G5 is not compatible with CS5. Gotta stop at CS4...

Can I buy a reasonably priced upgrade -- CS2 to CS4?
Any idea where...how much??

THANKS

A quick Google shopping search reveals it still for sale, but I wouldn't call the pricing anywhere near "reasonable."

Make sure you get the correct upgrade from CS & CS2 to CS4. Avoid CS3 to CS4 upgrades, otherwise the installer is going to ask you for a CS3 serial which you don't have. So, you would need to know the exact Manufacturer Part Number, try to speak to Adobe customer service (not that I think they're going to be much of help) 1-800-833-6687 and ask for that number.

I don't think anyone would ever consider Adobe's pricing "reasonable." BTW, did you make sure you were looking at the non-Intel version, I think the OP has a PowerPC (that's not Intel)

Adobe should still offer the CS4 upgrade via their online store. Just search for it (this is what I did when I went from PS4 > CS2 and then got the free upgrade to CS3 as CS3 couldn't be upgraded from PS4. $199 is the normal upgrade price for standard and $399 for Extended (or maybe $349).
