    Powermac opinions please guys?

    I'm thinking about just getting an AGP 400 and upgrading it to a 1.2 Sonnet cos it's going to be a lot cheaper for me. The costs are below: Quicksilver 733mhz, 80gb HDD, CDRW, 512mb RAM = £375 AGP 400 upgraded to a Sonnet 1.2ghz, 40gb HDD, 512mb RAM, DL DVDRW = £350

    Ahh right is this because the Quicksilver has the 'Velocity Engine' and the AGP doesn't? also will encoding video be much difference between the two?

    Powermac dual G4 1ghz vs Mac Mini

    I have a macmini (spec below) and have the chance to swap it with a Powermac dual G4 1ghz with 1gb RAM (quicksilver type), how would the Powermac compare against the macmini? I know it's got dual 1ghz processors but I presume they wouldn't be as fast as a single 2ghz?
