Hi all. Will I notice a diff between my existing 450x2 and a sonnet 1.2 GHZ upgrade? My current setup is Radeon 8500/512 RAM/WD 80 Gig SE. This will be a temporary upgrade as I plan on buying a G5 when the next wave arrives. Apps I'll be runnin: iMove,iDVD and some lighter apps like firefox, mail, office 04... I almost upgraded a few weeks ago but I decided to try a mini. The mini let me down on video performace so I returned it

TIA

Jeff

I would stick with your dual. It will probably much Snappier™.

I'm kind of scared off by some of the Powerlogix user reviews. I've narrowed my choices to single sonnet 1.2 or a dual Giga 1.2. The jump from 1.2 to 1.4 or higher isn't much of a speed bump for near dual money.
