This may be an ignorant question, but I'll trust the Mac fans here to be kind. I have MDD G4. 1.25 dual proc. 2GB RAM. I'm thinking of going to a G5, and curious if I got a dual 2.5GHz, and sufficient RAM, if in general, I'd expect 2X the performance. The only time I feel it shows its age is when encoding video. Depending on the exact encode, it can take 2hrs to 4hrs real time to encode the one hour of video. If the encode looks to use one core only, I take it it will do the same on the G5, and single/dual/quad won't change result much, just free up cores for other functions, right? I'm running Leopard, and trust these machines are happy to use it as well. I followed the liquid thread, anything else to watch out for?
