[QUOTE="Avalon, post: 188415, member: 5184"] I had a single 1.25 MDD before, with 1GB RAM and a Radeon 9800 crad. For the normal everyday computing, including a bit of Photoshop, iMovie and iDVD, it was fast enough for me, and still faster than a friends 1.42GHz iBook with 1GB of memory. Try to get a dual 1.25GHz or 1.42GHz, they have a faster bus speed than the 867MHz and 1GHz, which makes their overall speed better, as on the G4 the main bottleneck is the busspeed. The only drawback of the MDD, and I think deus_ex_machina will agree on that, is that they are very noisy...I had exchanged the powersupply ventilators and the CPU radiator with the Verax kit...not cheap, but really makes a huge difference!!
