[G4] upgrade or buy new mac?

[Brad Russell]

Thanks for all the replies to my e-mail about upgrading or replacing my DP500.  I think I should clarify a few things.

When I complained about sluggishness when scrolling through e-mail; specifically, when I scroll from message to message in my inbox is when it is less responsive - not when scrolling within a message.  Right now I'm using yahoo web mail with Firefox or Safari.  I would think the 9200 is up to that task- maybe not?

Also, I never thought I would buy a new a new Mac.  I was hoping to stay below $500.  So I guess given that as a loose budget, am I better of with a new old Mac or a processor upgrade.   And if so which one would be the best bang for the buck that would allow me to surf decently,  use the new iPhoto and MS Office?  Are there real advantages to a Mirrored Door or would a dual 867 be ok?


Thanks!

Brad
