Original G5 dual 2.0 vs. Dual Core G5 2.3 - Got Both

Post by NealF »

I've got both machines. I've been waiting for the PCIe cards so I can use the dual core with DP. My older G5 I use for video.

My question is this: Instead of waiting should I use the new G5 for video and upgrade my PCI card (from my G4) to use in the old G5? Will there be much of a speed difference? I know the old G5 makes some noise when the fan kicks in, but that's only once in a while.

Should I upgrade the dual or wait for the PCIe for my dual core?
