[X4U] New Intel or G5?

[Michael Elliott]

I've been using a Core Duo iMac for the last couple of weeks.  I  
upgraded from a G4 20" iMac with 740 Megs RAM, Airport Extreme, etc.   
(About to be put on eBay...shameless plug, so email me with questions).

I find the Duo to be a MAJOR step up in performance for me from my  
previous iMac, so I really don't notice much, if any, degradation in  
speed.  Yes, Office apps take a bit longer to launch, but beyond  
that, I agree that the only app you'll be noticing as any slower is  
Photoshop.
