OS X has really good DP support so the dual 800MHz might feel like 1.6GHz (maybe, don't quote me on this). If you get OS X, get a DP. If you plan on using 9, don't bother with DO because you won't see much of a difference.

clarification

For clarification I only use OS X 10.1 I never use OS 9 by itself.

So, theoretically would the Dual 800 be like having one 1.6ghz G4 (give or take a little) all of the time. If this is the case it seems worth it.

Any other opinions are greatly appreciated.

Thanks
David
