Hi everyone, I've asked a couple of questions about OS 9 vs. OS 8, regarding performance on a Power Mac 5400. I've got some tabs on OS 8.5, but before I buy, I thought I'd toss out a final question to the experts.
If I'm really sold on upgrading to OS X, via a G3 or G4 daughtercard (presuming it's possible in this machine), am I going to spend more than it's worth, considering that I could get an iMac for just a little bit more? One of the eventual uses of The Mac that we're going to have will be video editing. Granted, complexity and quality can strain the resources of a fast G4 with oodles of RAM, and a 5400 with the upgrade card isn't the same as a native G3 or G4. Of course, if we were shooting for pro-level quality, I wouldn't even be considering this stuff; but we're not. I would like to get to use iMovie, and I'm not sure if it's still restricted to the iMacs or not. Anyway, I'd appreciate any feedback I can get on the subject.
