Since both systems are boat anchors, I'd guess that the former will sink faster than the latter. That seperate LCD could provide a lot of drag.
edit: I missed the word upgraded.

Don't know what you will run on it, but a floor guy at the Phoenix Apple store intimated to me that Leopard will likely not be supported on a G3 (we were talking about all the macs I have and that I was thinking of giving my wife's old G5 iMac to my daughter to replace her G3 iMac - and he gave me a welllllll Leopard is coming out soon and... - and wouldn't finish the sentence so I had to prompt him "you mean it won't support G3's anymore?"... and he said he couldn't say for sure either way as he nodded.
So I don't know. The G4 might be the way to go for now.

Yeah, I know. But I couldn't help it. He seemed so sincere!
