I'm currently using a 1Ghz G4 iMac as my primary machine. Thinking about upgrading it with Daystar's 1.92Ghz G4 or moving over to a G5 iMac. I'm looking for some benchmarks on encoding DVDs to DivX files. It seems to take a good two hours on my 1Ghz G4.

Anyone with a faster machine have any benchmarks? Can I expect this to cut in half with a 1.92Ghz or 2.0Ghz chip? Would the G4 vs G5 make any difference--I remember hearing that clock for clock they were pretty similar.

TIA,
Brian.
