What can't you do with what you have? Apart from anything on the web (slowness here does not count at all), how long are you waiting for your present 500 MHz processor to do things? My 360MHz one keeps me waiting hardly at all... The longest is to open say large 100 MB pics in Photoshop, but then it is only a few secs and I only open such to vastly reduce them. If you are working on film or large files for printing, maybe you can gain from faster crunching. I'd say though to save your pennies for a machine with a bigger bus like a true G4 (even a 350 or 400 MHz G4 would be likely be faster in practice than yours with a faster processor. IMHO and all that...
