Mac And Audio Noob, dual g4 vs single g5 ??? Options

[Devlfrmhvn]

First off, sorry if this is posted somewhere else i looked arround and coudint find a real answer to my question.
Ok so here we go, im looking at buying my first mac. and i have done quite a bit of price shopping and what i have come up with is this... for about the same price i can get into a single 1.6 g5 or a dual 1.25 g4... So in your opinion what would be the better macine for me to buy? Im planning on building a small studio in my home down the road and for now i will be using a either a Digi 002 or a TDM settup with a 888 i/o i havent exactly decided on what system i want to go with... either way i wlll be in a Pro Tools enviroment for school and for my home recording use.

Also my parents are buying me this machine for school and to use there after, and well im a broke ass college student as it is, so i will be keeping this machine for quite a few years.

So... what would be the better machine for me? And please dont tell me to get a dual g5 because its not financialy possible.

I am also aware that both fo these will need more ram.
Thanks again for your advice

Well i am pretty much broke "in my mind that is"..... I sold alot of things i own to pay for school, Berklee isint cheap to say the least... but it is the best music school in the nation... the more i read the macihnes are pretty comparable for what i want to use them for. I think im gonna go for the g5 for the sheer fact that the 64bit will become quite usefull in the next year or two, Apple is already making thier new os that will be intended for 64bit.

Thanks for the response, and keep them coming please... all of your opinions are very valid in my decision.
