The reason I ask is simple: After flirting about with it for all this time, I finally broke down and scored a G4 (The Cube thingy no less). Here's exactly what I've got coming ("bestrafer69" happens to be my ebay handle):

I intend to upgrade the video to a GeForce2 MX, and the CPU from a G4 500 to a dual G4 1.2 (with the Sonnet kit). Then I intend to bolt on a big-assed fan to keep it all cool.

Meanwhile, I need to start shoving CG programs over from my soon-to-be-converted-into-storage-space Win32 partition on my dual-boot Win/Lin box.

I'd gotten disgusted with P5 on Windows, so I'm leary of getting the Mac version, but there's no P4/PPP for OSX. Therefore, what I kinda want to know from the Mac folks who have P5 is this...

1. Any bugs yet?

2. What hardware are you running it on? (CPU type & speed, and RAM)

3. how long does it take to render something in P4/Firefly modes?

4. Do you yourself think it was worth it?

I suppose I could run P4/PPP in Classic mode (have to buy that too, since I only have the Win32 version).
