Re: A used G-Mac for a gift--but which model?

[Glenn Schunemann]

I agree. I got a BW 450 thinking it would be fast. And it is. In fact 
it's almost as fast as a G4 400 (assuming using apps that don't use the 
velocity engine). I have run into numerous occasions where I needed to 
use startup manager and firewire target disk mode (which the G3 does 
not support because of firmware issues).

The AGP G4 is the best all around deal. Even a 400 mhz model. I got a 
G4 733 Quicksilver off ebay for a decent price and am looking forward 
to it.

The absolute best model in terms of long-term bang-for-the-buck right 
now is the Sawtooth G4 (the first AGP models) imo.
