I just checked prices the processor I bought in February an Opeteron
170 has dropped by $70 since then.

Notice I only upgraded from a 2000+ to a 2.01 but it was a larger
cache and a doubling of the processor.
Any dual core will increase the speed tremendously.
Also note with my old system all the system could do was process the
video it was not capable of multi tasking. With the dual core I can
multi task with ease.
I do not know about Apple Computers, but in the IBM realm the price
decrease on Dual processors has been steep.
