more than i thought. the Quicktime support is something i was not aware 
of and changes my opinion of the usefulness of MP in OS9 a little. the 
plethora of graphics apps supported certainly made it a kick-ass 
graphics box in it's time.

but for most normal activities, the extra processors would not be 
beneficial. if you are a high end graphic or 3D artist, then it will 
benefit you. if not, then you are basically using a 200 mhz 604e which 
is very slow.

plus, i am not sure that the OSX versions of those apps will use the 
processors. i would be sure of that before deciding against a G4 card. 
the fact that you might be stuck with OS9 apps forever would be a 
drawback.
