I like an advice on upgrading my old G4 400 (system bus 100) to a faster processor, instead of buying a new mac (G5 or G4 1.25).
I already have a faster 32mb video card, 2 decent HD and close to 1 GB of ram on it.
I am thinking to spend around $500, will i get more performance benefit if:
1. install a under 1 gz processor card (which is cheaper) and a faster 8mb cache HD
OR
2. a single or dual fast processor (over 1 gz) only.
I will be running OSX jaguar (quartz extreme) and eventually panther on it, and my most intensive work will be photoshop (not final cut pro or any video stuff).
