[G4] Single or dual?

[R Michael Vogt]

I Have sawtooth and  did a upgrade on  the CPU about 4 years ago to  
the 1.0 GHz and help allot with Video stuff and with Imovie Toast it  
is worth the money tell you out grow it As we did then my Kids use  
the Sawtooth and I use a G5 dual
and it cut the encoding down to 20 mins and my sawtooth took around 6  
to 8 hours.
Also Make sure you can use Dual before you buy it I could not on my  
Sawtooth
