Well, if you do the most processor intensive work at the office, then my choice would be "C". In any event, a G3 upgrade will outperform a dual 604 system, and of course this is even more true of a G4 upgrade. Photoshop's use of the altivec engine in the G4 processor, makes a G4 upgrade the best choice by far. -Howie -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
