One camcorder tape is about 20 GB in size, so you should get a bigger hard drive if your projects are over ~ 15 minutes. It would be much cheaper to get a blue and white powermac that has built-in firewire and probably bigger hard drive that to throw money at an old machine. Even a used G4 would be a deal - it's a LOT cheaper than buying a processor upgrade, considering you also get a graphics boost, RAM boost, and the good looks of the powermac G4 / G3.
