If you can afford the iMac and like them, that's the best way to go. No
matter what you do to your B&W, it won't be as good a machine. It will
cost you at least $1000 to bring your B&W as close as possible to the
iMac level and it will still lag far behind in processor and video
performance and will it not be able to use iDVD.
550 MHz G4 $250
1 GB memory: $116
ATI Radeon 7000 video card $118
80 GB HD: $130
DVD-R/W: $245
Ultra ATA card* $85
FireWire/USB 2 card** $80
--------
$1024
*If needed for reliable performance of high capacity, high throughput
drives.
**Likely needed for reliable FireWire performance.
If you can't afford the iMac, consider the top of the line eMac.
