I doubt the 256 extra would make a lot of difference. You'd probably  
get better results from choosing your apps more carefully - such as  
the G4 optimized version of Firefox (Bon echo?) and other apps with a  
smaller memory footprint.

Oh, and avoid coverflow in Finder. That will bring my works dual G5 to  
it's knees.
