[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1218155, member: 56379"] I think that it would be "wiser" to get a dual-cpu Powermac G5 for around $200-$250...rather than spending $400 on a quad-core PM G5. You can do better with that $400 & get an Intel Mac. As far as the 1000 point benchmark score difference...well it probably should be noticeable...especially if you're doing some video rendering. But $400 is a lot to spend on a 5-6 year-old non-Intel computer. And...rendering on a dual PM G5 will still be a lot faster than on your iBook.:) Also remember...if you get a Core 2 Duo Intel computer...that's 2 processors. If you're going to spend around $400...I say try to get an Intel Core 2 Duo iMac. Otherwise...spend $200-$250 on a 1.8 or 2.0ghz Dual-cpu PM G5. HTH, - Nick [/QUOTE]
