hi, yesterday i bought a powermac 3, and it works okay, loaded, but is dreadfully slow. but at least i am in the mac world, but i don,t have the patience for such a slow rig, considering i have 2 custom built pc,s that are VERY fast. but i want to have a apple computer, but something somewhat faster that the g3.. i get a $1000 next month, but i am thinking i can get something maybe around the 300-400 dollar range that should be quick... should i get a quicksilver g4?????

What are the specs on your Power Mac G3? Is it the Blue and White model? What version of OSX are you running?
