Should I jump on dual 1gig Powermac deal?
I am definately a behind the curve kind of guy. I do this for a hobby and not because I have cash hanging in the balance. I currently have a PowerMac G4@450 with 1 gig SDR-RAM and with a 32xcdr.
I have found a deal where I can get a MDD dual 1 gig PowerMac for $1100. It doesn't have the modem and the videocard is a Geforce4mx. It has an 80 gig HD and 1 stick of DDR ram. It also has a Superdrive (Pioneer 104)
What do you think? Should I jump on the dual 1 gig for $1100 and sell off the older G4 to make back some of the difference?

Doesn't sound too bad at all. This is without researching it too much though... have you checked prices at SmallDog and the like, to see what dual 1GHz machines are going for?
Flash forward 4 years, and I've still got the same machine (basically...now it's a Yikes! g4). It's old, but it's got enough kick to keep me going until I get a new G5 (the financial crystal ball says January '04).
The Powermac G4 is effectively dead. I give it 2 years of good performance, and maybe 1 more of decent performance. The Powermac G5 has the "legs" that you need, it could be your number one machiney for many, many years to come...so I think, no.
