mariuo,
The PowerMac 1Ghz DP will work for you as a bit of a step up over the iBook. The iBook is portable, but the PowerMac, even though it is of a much older lineage at this point, has a faster system bus, faster hard drives (unless you have upgraded your stock one), more expandability and is capable of holding a larger amount of RAM. If it were me, I'd go for the swap. Just from expandability perspective (i.e., adding a new larger hard drive for nothing but my audio output). peace. -------------------- |
