Like my sig says, I've got a dual 1.24ghz G4 MDD

My apple care will expire in October and I do want to upgrade. However, I'm not in a dire NEED to upgrade situation. Should I upgrade now selling the computer with Applecare on Ebay?

Or just wait till January or next summer to upgrade. Either way, this will be the last upgrade I do before going to Intel macs in two years...

What do you think is better for me?

Thanks,
Mike

Right now sounds like a perfect time to sell it. The PM was just updated recently. Also, the Applecare that is left on your current PM will help to sell it. Some people don't like to buy used equipment without some kind of security net.

Also, the powermac has a display (23" Cinema ADC display). Can I sell that separately or keep it and still have it be under apple care? They were on the same applecare but didn't know if they had to be together to be covered. Just in case I sold the display separate from the desktop.

Anyone? Are you allowed to sell the displays separately or should they be sold together as a bundle (Since both are under the same applecare agreement?

You'll have to call Applecare to be sure, but I suspect since you're required to purchase them together and enroll them together, they must stay together to both be covered.
