A processor upgrade for a MDD will cost more than a DP 1.8 G5; the bus speed on the G5 is about 5x faster and you can put 4GB RAM (or 8 GB on the PCI-X model). You'll see a big difference in music/video editing. You might also want to check the specs on new releases of the software. Apple is aiming new apps toward Intel-based dual processors. I'm not a big fan of the Mac mini but you can get a dual 1.8 GHz Intel Mini for about the same price of a Sonnet dual 1.8 GHZ upgrade for your MDD.
