- 8GB iPhone 3G / PowerMac G4 Dual 450 MHz 80GB 256MB / 30GB 5G iPod Black
I just picked up a working PowerMac Dual G4 450 MHz (Gigabit) with 80 GB upgraded HD, 256 MB RAM, and stock 2x AGP 16 MB video (including the keyboard, mouse, and power cord) off of ebay very cheap from a seller who didn't realize exactly what he had.
Is it worth the $$ to upgrade this to the dual 1.6 or 1.8 GHz G4 processor from Sonnet or GigaDesigns? I realize the bus will always be limited to 100 MHz. What kind of performance boost will i realize from such an upgrade? I'm definitely going to max out the RAM at 2 GB and find a better video card.
