[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 819955, member: 8287"] This might give you an idea of speed differences between modded G4's and Intel Mini's. I have a G4 Digital Audio like you do. I installed a 1.8Ghz Giga Design G4, 1.5GB RAM, ATI Radeon 9800 Pro, 120 GB 7200 RPM Hard Drive, USB 2.0 card, 350 Watt Sparkle Power Supply. I also have a Intel Mini which I recently modded with a 2.16Ghz C2D out of the last generation White 24" iMac. Even before I modded the Mini and it had the 1.66 Core Duo, doing video conversion from say AVI to DVD took around 3 hours on G4 and under 30 minutes on the Intel Core Duo 1.66Ghz Mini. Now with the C2d it's under 20 minutes for the same video conversion. My 2.1 Ghz G5 is in the middle somewhere but still takes 1.5 hours most of the time where the mini around 20 minutes. Not sure about Logic. I have a feeling they are talking G4 mini when they give you those figures on the CPU site. I have a 1.5Ghz G4 Mini and my 1.8 Ghz DA is a bit faster. Forgot to mention, same exact Video application on both machines set the same way and same exact video file. Same exact version of OSX 10.5.6. Did it for a comparison test. [/QUOTE]
