Hiya,
Long time since I posted last, been rather busy, anyway...
I'm looking at getting a desktop companion to my PowerBook G4 12" which is a 1.5GHz G4 with 768MB.
I am considering a dual G4 Power Mac as i have yet to really feel my PowerBook G4 is slow (not slow at all in fact!) but definitely don't want to go backwards in speed.
Does anyone have experience of the 867MHz Mirror Drive Door/Dual Optical Power Mac G4s? And also the 1,25/1.42GHz Dual G4s?
What is the performance like? I'd be looking to do every day computing, Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, Painter, Word, Excel, WWW etc. maybe some iMovie work on occassions.
I understand that I can boost the RAM and HD space significantly, and get a beefier GFX card.
I'm wondering if being a Dual processor Mac at 867MHz will make it at least comparable to my PowerBook G4.
If anyone has any answers quickly, that'd be great and much appreciated as I have my eye on a couple of eBay auctions that end in 3-5 hrs.
Thanks!
Vicky
