Only if I write a parallel version of my program, which I do not intend to do. Besides, I cannot afford the dual 2 GHz (even the 1.8 GHz is a bit expensive to me). >I currently have a G4 running at 733 MHz.

My PowerBook G4 550 MHz (which of course does not have a L3 cache) with 256 MB RAM is fast enough in OS X, IHMO. I hardly ever use the Finder, though. Tord
