How would a 400 mhz iMac DV SE with 512 mb of RAM.....compare to a 333 mhz Biege G3 Tower with 640 MB of ram and a Radeon 7000 video card.

This comparison would be running Mac OSX 10.2. I figure the video card will help boost performance over the iMac because of the new Quartz Extreme stuff in Jaguar....but I am not really sure.

ANY insight would be appreciated

Hi Sympton

The biege G3 won't be supported by Quartz Extreme, you need an AGP grafic slot and videocard to have any use of Quartz Extreme.
The biege G3 have a pci videocard.
I can't remember if the 400mhz iMacen have an 2x agp for its video card.... You can go to www.everymac.com and check it out if you want. If so it'll get some speed boost.
