Hey Everyone, I posted this at the end of a thread in the "For Sale/Trade" section, and I think this is a better place to put it!
I was offered a G4 Quick Silver 800Mhz almost at par for my iBook.. I am wondering if it is a worthwhile trade.. That is to say, will I notice a huge difference, or should I save up a few more hundred (ie. Seven Hundred) and trade it in for a New PowerMac G4 1ghz?
Now the main reason I am doing this is due to the fact that I am in fact a switcher, and I need to be able to run VirtualPC on my Mac to do some work oriented stuff, and the iBook just Crawls in VirtualPC (Running XP Home)
Will the 800 be fast enough? Or should I consider a wait for the 1ghz?
I can buy a 1Ghz Sonnet card for under the $700 difference, but would it be as fast as the newer DDR Macs (I think I answered my own question, but I will chuck it out to you pros )
Thanks for your help everyone!
