I just upgraded from a Powermac G3 (1st rev.) to a Powermac G4 DP 1.25 ghz... so much faster!
Any other fans here? Any cool stories to tell about it?

impressive... just noticed that it is heavier than the previous older Powermac G3/G4's however?

great great mac. Got my dual 1.25GHZ MMD G4 in the summer of 2002. It's still running today next to my new Mac Pro. The machine is very upgradable. I have 2GB of ram inside, over 2TB of hard drives, a ATI 9700 Pro with 128MB of video ram, 3 firewire 800 ports, 802.11N wireless, 3 USB 2.0 ports, and 4 firewire 400 ports. And it's still running 10.5.2 with no problems. Enjoy your G4.
The MDD is the poor man's Mac Pro. I have used the QuickSilver models a ton, and I kept wishing that they were more expandable.
On the other hand, my B+W G3 with clear case handles and a 500MHz G4 is still truckin'.
EDIT: Holey Moley! Did your MDD come with those specs?

Wait a second, how did you make the wireless 802.11N get to work on your G4 ??
I only have the original Apple Airport card, which is slower...
Can you tell me ??

The last MDD G4s had an option of airport express but I have a MDD (2002) so I added a PCI 802.11N card. Airport Express (G) is only 54Mbps. 802.11N is 300Mbps. Huge difference in file sharing. Using your PCI slots is a great move considering that they support 133MBps.
You can boost it to dual 2 GHz, btw, not just 1.8.
