I have a 2002 QS 733, added drive, 2nd monitor PCI vid card, ram, tiger, used for Flash, PP and music production. I need to UG the CPU, and I have been following Apple QS dual 800's on ebay- going for around $225. And I have looked at faster SPs, like the 1.4 for about $300. So,
What's going to give the best bang for the buck?
Is the dual 800 (stock pull from an QS) as quick as the single 1.4?
I have seen MDD 133 dual 1K's go through ebay- will they work in my QS?

Will I get better performance if I get a dual head AGP vid card and remove the PCI? If so, what's the appropriate card for my use?

I was all ready to buy a G5 / 1.8- I have $900 saved, plus what I can get for my 733, but I am reluctant to move, in light of the Intel announcement? Feedback?

thanks in advance
