Last week I got my 1.42 GHz eMac to replace my dead 1.0 GHz model, and one of the things I did with this new one was take advantage of the graphics card being able to support Core Image by following this iMovie '09 hack:

So far, iMovie '09 is fully functional on my 1.42 Ghz G4 eMac. It does occasionally slow down a bit, but otherwise it works just like it's supposed to, almost as if I were running it on an Intel-based Mac!
I decided to give this a try, having used iMovie '09 at my college's TV studio on the new 24" iMacs we got this summer. I haven't used iMovie '08 that much (I've toyed around with it a bit at an Apple Store), but in some ways iMovie '09 is better than iMovie HD 6 in terms of editing and features (like the ability to select only parts of clips from the event browser to edit in the project, the YouTube uploader, the real-time transitions and effects, better color correction, picture-in-picture and greenscreen already included, etc.), and in a few ways it isn't (like the lack of some fancy video effects, the funky audio editing, not as good title control).
Any comments?
