Hmmm, I do like the idea of using two HD's as you've described. I am tempted to just go for an early G5 tower. However (embarrassed lowering of head) I am so far not behind the 8ball I do not even know about Dual processors. For instance, is a 'Dual 1.0 GHz' made of two 1.0 GHz processors side by side - giving it 4 times the speed, 4 times the amperage draw, and 4 times the noise of my old 500 Sawtooth? A whole different tack, and do forgive my ignorance again, could possibly be a laptop ? - can a laptop power my 18" Trinitron Screen? (I recently got my wife a little beauty 1.42 GHz IBook for $200 that included a 320 Gb HD and handles You Tube video OK) Thanks again, Del
