- 13" MBP 2.53 DC2, 09 Mini 2.0 DC2, 07 Mini 2.16 DC2, MB 2.0 DC2, iBook G3 900MHz, G4 Sawtooth 1.6Ghz
i want to bring back to life a G4 400mhz Power Mac Sawtooth AGP and i can not decide where the performance versus cost benefit begins and ends?
i am looking at these units and i know i want at least a 1.8 if it is going to be a single processor but i cant decide what i should do.
i am going to be running leopard and mainly using it for media playing and general web use. i will not be using photoshop or anything like that. i will most likely be putting a video card in it that allows for 1080 and hooking it up to my LCD tv and networking it to my home network HDD. itunes and movies willbe its main use.
i will not be:
1. adding a superdrive - i have plenty of machines that can burn dvd's/cd's
2. playing games
3. using photoshopish (LOL) type software
i will be:
1. wanting a great video picture on my 52" LCD. i will get a good AGP DVI out video card after i get it running
2. surfing the web
3. using itunes
4. editing or converting video/audio with programs like audacity and visualhub etc...
thanks for any input or suggestions.
