[QUOTE="Aptmunich, post: 62478, member: 3850"] The G4 processor has something called an altivec engine. It basically greatly speeds up applications that support altivec and makes them run faster. Some applications require altivec (iDVD & iMovie 4 I believe) so a G3 is not a wise decision IMO. A 1Ghz G3 is slower than a 800Mhz G4 at certain tasks... I'd get a G4... [/QUOTE]
