Check this out:

From the AppleStore 'important notes' section of iLife 04:

DVD drive required to install GarageBand and iDVD
iDVD requires a 733MHz PowerPC G4 or faster.
Burning DVDs using iDVD requires an Apple SuperDrive.
Burning iPhoto archives to CD or DVD requires Mac OS X v10.2.8 or later.
iPhoto book and print ordering services are available only in the U.S., Canada, Japan, and select territories; fees apply.


733 G4 - pretty steep, guess I need that proc upgrade now....

You know you don't have to use iDVD 4 to create your DVDs.

Wasn't the first Mac with a SuperDrive a 733MHz G4?

Was it? Hmm...you caught me I installed a superdrive myself aftermarket - so I'm breaking the rules to begin with. But the way I figure, if I pony up my $49 and it works, good for me, if not - I guess I can't complain.

Only strengthens my desire to buy a G5 now....
