From the speed specs at the site it would seem that the G3/500 upgrade is faster than the G4/450.
Advice and suggestions about which to purchase and why will be appreciated.
Working with a lot of pictures, graphics or other applications that take advantage of the Altivec engine? Buy the G4. It does make a big difference with applications that can take advantage of Quart Extreme. Many programs that are being written for OS X can take advantage of the G4, so that may also be a consideration.
Ether one will be much faster than than your current set up.
