I would disagree here. We just sold my wife's iMac G4/700 after owning it for three years, and I will really miss it. It's been the most reliable computer I've *ever* owned (and I have owned/own lots). And the display is just fine IMO. > The processor speed and its generation (g3 to g4) will be noticable, > but I don't know that it will really be a spectacular difference > unless you use an altavec optimized app, such as Photoshop. G4 = G3 > scalar core plus the Altavec vector/floating point engine. We had 768 of memory in our iMac, and it was plenty fast for most of the things my wife did. The deal killer was when her favorite greeting card place <http://www.jacquielawson.com>, which is heavily flashed, started choking her computer. We got her one of the last iMac G5s.
