Well, the answer depends on what you are going to use it for, and how fast the dual G4 is. The dual G4 1.2Ghz is faster than the single G5 1.8ghz by most benchmarks. Not to mention you get to take advantage of DP. Bellow that line it's a drop off.

However, you must keep in mind that a high end dual G4 is no laughing matter! These are powerfull machines and should be able to handle any task.

Till this day, I still see many dual 500Mhz G4s doing very demanding graphic work etc. Like I said, it's all about what you need it for, and how much money you want to spend  ;)

I was doing audio work with a single G4 867, sold it to get a G5, and now I'm going to get another G4, after selling the G5

they're overhyped

well, here are the ones i was looking at.  basically i want the computer to do everything (but i don't need do graphics design) and i want it to last. just not real familiar with macs and these two computers are similarly priced. which is really more worth the money?
