Single 1.25 vs. Dual 1.25
Yipee, I am going out to buy a new mac in the next few days. The local store has 2 macs that are in my price range--a single and a dual processor 1.25 gig G4 Powermac.
Does anybody know if there is a significant speed difference between the 2 (for mostly page layout, Illustrator, and mostly medium sized photoshop files).
My delima is should I get the dual processor and 512 megs extra ram or the single processor a gig extra ram, and pocket the difference (about $750 CDN)?

I am using 10.2.
I did not realize they were in the same neighbourhood of the low end G5's. That's cool in a way. I haven't looked into the G5's too much yet. I wasn't planning on getting anything yet, but I have to get some help in my ofice and just started pricing things out. Of couse my help will have to use the older equipment

The same item in the catalog is $99.99, however, on the website it is $119.
The deal on the dual G4 is great. You don't even have to pay for what it's worth.
