This depends on your style basically. I've found that if I have to take something home to work on as long as I use Photoshop 5 and Freehand 8, which are my two app's of choice, my lil 72/7300 frankenmac does just as good as my 733 G4 or 800 iBook running them in Classic. Even Quark 4 works just fine in classic, just have to do the windowshade thing every so often to redraw the screen if you switch away from Quark and back. I steer clear of Photoshop 7 and Freehand 10 other than to downsave things on this machine, at work I use whatever version they are in though Freehand 10 is noticeably slower than 8 even on my G4 or iBook.
