    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.

Your Mac's Specs
White MacBook, 2.0 ghz Intel Core 2, 2GB ram||[G4 Imac Flat Panel] |800mhz|1Gb RAM|60gb HDD
I have a powermac G4 (AGP Graphics) runnining at 500mhz.

Is it worth it to buy a dual 1ghz or 1.3 ghz processor from here http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/accelerators/PowerLogix/PowerForce-G4/
If i were to do video editing with the computer, among other routine work?

Or would it be a better idea to put the money to into the G4 quick silver and upgrade that or look for one already running dual processors?


I basically don't know what my options are or what the difference is between the G4 Powermac towers so I don't want to put 300-400 into it and it not really be worth it or be a stupid newb mistake.
