should i but upgrade!!!

If you bought the 1.25 GHz you would see a HUGE performance difference in everything due to the G4, the faster processor, and the 64 meg graphics card. Check xbench.com's comparison site to just see how much better it is.

 

i mean the gap between G4 and G3 is big but the 325 mhz jump is equally important. I went from a g3 800 to a g4 867, and the g4 is nice, but its not quite blowing anything away .... don't over emphasize just the chip change

 

G3 may even be faster than a similarly clocked G4 at everyday tasks due to different architecture and 512kb L2 as opposed to 256kb

 

big performance whole new chip plus 300 plus mhz, plus the whole cache thing
