The only people capable of telling you from first hand experience would be Apple employees involved in the development of these machines and I would believe that they would tow the company line. From the looks of things one should expect a noticeable speed difference between a G4 and G5 and a world of difference compared to your G3. If I was you I would not even look at the G5 because that would show you how slow your computer really is and you would be unhappy every time you boot it.
