really depends on what you do with your mac

the difference is mostly in top end and bottom end speed   reg. apps dont
seem any faster   but processor intensive apps  run smoother/faster

I would either buy a G3/450 and bump it to 500 or go with a 400/450  G4 and
bump it up < so far 500 is all a B&W can handle - apple restriction >

honestly  I didnt see much improvewment between the  G3/400  and the G4/400,
but then when bumped to 450  it showed itsself... check xlr8 for others
reports =)  not much dif between G3/400 and a G4/400 in speed   but there
does seem to be  netween a G3/450  and a G4/450

is honestly faster <over all> than a STOCK g4/800   some elements are faster
in the G4 like the processor/obviously  but the time it takes to complete a
task of any size/graphics/etc    mine is faster in time to complete the
task.
