[G4] Pls. Suggest Upgrade

[Jim Elmore]

I have the same computer with 2 gigabytes ram, 4 internal drives, 2  
external firewire drives and the same displays.

If I were doing video editing, I would buy a more recent computer  
(refurbished from smalldog.com) and probably keep my displays.

You will make a lot of money and should work as fast as you can  
afford to. The G4 MDD isn't fast enough.
