Hello Everyone,
I've tried doing some research before posting but I haven't seen any actual forums regarding a comparison between the new Imac 20" Intel Core Duo and a Powermac G4 Dual 1.25ghz MDD. The latter is what I currently own, however, I am wondering which is faster (regarding the use of FCP, Soundtrack, etc)? Any personal experiences that people can let me know about? I guess there aren't many benchmarks regarding this comparison because the one's I found were not very informative on my web searches. I've been reading on forums that it might be better to upgrade eventually when Leopard comes out because of mainly a) the 64bit platform. I guess at that point if I upgrade many of the apps I own on my G4, such as FCP4 and Office 2004, would be obsolete on the new OS X right?
