I have a 1.5GHz G4 Powerbook with 1gb of RAM.<br>
<br>
I'm spending a lot of time with EyeTV, Toast, iMovie, iDVD, and <br>
iPhoto, and have been thinking about upgrading to 2Gb of RAM. This
<br>
would be a big move as it would mean I'd have 2x512MB of RAM that <br>
would be sitting around (and would probably need to keep at least the <br>
one original 512 from Apple, as AppleCare wants to remove all 3rd <br>
party RAM if there is ANY sort of a problem).<br>
<br>
I was talking about this with a friend who wondered if it would <br>
really make a difference. He figured that the real bottleneck was
<br>
the CPU.<br>
<br>
I figured this was the best group to ask... assuming any of you have <br>
any non-dual-G5 experience (which just isn't in the budget).<br>
<br>
Anyone have any benchmarks or experience with this?<br>
