First off I would like to thank everyone for taking the time to
asnwer, just a few additional points of discussion.
1. Portability - While I appreciate everyone saying I should stick
with my Ti Powerbook, my mind is already make up to move to desktop.
I have a computer at work already and that is pretty much the only
other place I use my laptop. For portability I would have to say what
I have sucks. I have broken hinges which means I always need to be up
against the wall. Also have a battery which only gives me about 30
minutes of use and a lot less if doing anything CPU heavy.
One of the main reasons I want to get a desktop is to leave it at
home where I can have an FTP server setup and also want to use it as a
Tivo type DVR.
Another problem as I see it with the Powerbook is a complete lack
of upgradability. I can't put in a better video card, can't put in a
new CPU. Already maxed out my ram. I am definitly a tinkerer as far
as my hardware goes. I enjoy the flexibility that a tower would give
me as far as upgradaibility (if that is even a word).
2. My main question - Still have not gotten an answer as far as the
performace difference between a dual G4/450 and a single G4/733. The
machine will be used mainly for web surfing, e-mail, watching movies,
and also host a VERY low usage FTP server. Does anyone have any
thoughts which would be better?
