[G4] Which PowerMac

[R. Sigismonti]

Brian, if I were you, I'd wait a month or so to see if Apple does 
indeed come out with a 970 based machine.  If they do, you might want 
to consider one of those, as the G4 machines will quickly lose value 
and the new 970 machines will be much more capable of speeding up your 
work.
