Oh Wise and Opinioned "G" listers,

Have two teenage daughters, two "G3"'s (Beige 233MT over clocked to 300,
Beige 333MT over clocked to 375, both maxed on ram @ 768) , on home network
with DSL, printers. Both girls need desktops for school at this point, so
I'll give up my trusted friend.  Am looking at purchasing a used G4, and
would like some additional input. Budget is a consideration.

I am looking at  733 to 933 MHz. I really like the 2002 MDD 867. Prices seem
to be reasonable at around $1000 to $1500 usd. 2001 models of G4's are going
for around $300 less, have slower system bus speeds, and SDRAM vs DDR. All
other issues seem to be negligible. Would also like to have have Superdrive.
I am looking for experience/opinions with the above items.

Is it worth the extra $$ to hold out for 2002 model with DDR ram and faster
system bus (167 MHz vs 133).

Is the Apple Superdrive worth the investment, or should I just buy an after
market DVD-R (RW,R+, etc)

Looking forward to your replies.
