Following up on Tom's post...

I'm ordering a new computer for my new job. I can ask for whatever I would
like. Doesn't mean I will get it, but the odds are good. Currently I have a
G4 Powerbook with an 800 MHz processor and 1 GB SDRAM. It seems to work fine
but it gets a little bogged down sometimes when I am trying to edit video. I
wish it would be a little snappier on that score. But I don't know gigahertz
from whatever so I don't know which number should be higher in order to get
better video editing performance. I guess it would also be nice if Photoshop
rendered a little faster when I am doing some mega-filter thing.

My other issue is I don't know that I really need a Powerbook. Can't I get
more performance for less cost by going to a G5 tower? In my entire
employment here I think the Powerbook has left my desk maybe three times. It
is always connected to an external monitor on my desk. If I REALLY needed to
take a Powerbook somewhere I guess I could just bring my personal Powerbook
from home. So I'm leaning towards the tower.

What would y'all do?

Thanks!
