OK so the G4 is the one to go for does it matter if its duel or will only one be used?
I am asking as i will be getting a Powermac very soon well it one of them or a macmini just like thew expandability of the powermac over the mini but the mini is nice and small
Personally i choose a 1.42 dual CPU FW800 MDD Power mac.
Yes, only one CPU is used under MorphOS (I've been looking at overclocking a single 1.33GHz Xserve processor card to 1.67 GHz), but its the fastest G4 Power mac available (and will outperform a 1.5 GHz mac Mini)..
I've got an NEC based USB 2.0 PCI card and a Soundblaster Live audio card installed in it.
I've also got an ATI Radeon 9800XT video card (although for now I'd recommend an R200 card for 3D hardware acceleration).
All this can be bought fairly cheaply.
My Powermac was under $75.
The USB card can be had for about $5 (and the Soundblaster is only a little more).
Many Powermacs come with a Radeon 9000Pro video card or these can be purchased starting at around $30.
Other alternatives include the 8500, 9200/9250, 9600, 9700, or 9800.
