[G4] G4 upgrades

[Hal]

I upgraded my G4 Cube from 500mHz to 1.4gHz, then used it to encode and 
burn a 2 hour DVD using iDVD. It took about 7-8 hours to fully encode 
and burn the DVD. I don't know the exact time because I left it running 
and went to sleep.

This was imported footage (from iMovie) from a VHS tape that I had 
imported using a firewire bridge. The DVD was burned on an external 
firewire LaCie 2x DVD-R drive. The resulting DVD plays great in my home 
DVD player.

I'd guess you'd see similar results with a CPU upgrade, as the Cube and 
your 400mHz AGP-based G4 are similar in most respects.
