Thanks buddy! Yes the Snow is a very nice usable machine... also a nice part of the decore! If anything it does some things with a little more grace than my G4, even... AGP graphics on the the iMac vs PCI on the G4 no doubt has a bit to do with it, as well as the faster CPU. The more I think about it the more I am leaning towards re-boarding the Graphite with a 600 one, as the difference the doubled VRAM and bumped up CPU speed makes between a 500 and 600 imac is actually a lot greater than anybody would probably credit.

Also , love this site btw, as an aside!
