I second this. The Dual MDD 1.0 or 1.25 GHz are the sweet spot for performance. They can be had with 2GB memory (that's worth about $100) for the mid $100 range if you look, track recent sales and are patient. With no card upgrades, they only need a USB2.0 card (you want to sync an iPod on USB1.0? I think not.) They run Leopard nicely, and the only slow down I see is the video encode. My new Pro is 4-8X faster on video, but at 20X the price. I still run my G4 right next to it. I love that gal.
