[G4] Which Computer is Best?

[Rich Northouse]

I have both a G4 - 1.0 dual and a G5 - 2.0 dual. My experience is the  
G5 is faster for just all around work. It boots up much faster and it  
also transfers data to/from the hard drive faster.

I also prefer the fan structure of the G5. It has multiple fans and  
the OS turns them on and off depending on the work load being sent to  
the processor(s) -- i.e. more work -- more heat -- hence more fans.  
But usually, when not loading it down, it can get by with one fan a  
very slow speed, hence extremely quite. My vote goes to the G5.
