And just one more viewpoint:
Why not buy another Radeon 9000 and spend the savings on maxing out
the DA’s RAM?
I’m not sure if the DA is faster than the MDD in actual practice,
though. The processor isn’t that much faster, and the bus speed is
slower.
I think you’ve got two pretty equal machines
I have a pair of Dual 1.25 MHz MDD G4's which have been my graphics

Thanks for all the input!
I did some serious testing and benchmarking when I got the dual 1.8
GHz G4 upgrade, and I never got it to run reliably beyond 1.6 GHz. I
benchmarked at 1.53 GHz using Geekbench (CPU and memory tess), and it
was 27% faster than the dual 1 GHz MDD under Tiger, 19% faster
No worries, I discovered it's a bad power button board. Shorted pins
3 and 6, it powered right on.
Thanks all!

On my MDD G4's one of the early symptoms of the failing power supply
was that the computer would just unexpectedly shut down.

Well, this only happens when I am not using it.
Any way to check (that does not involve paying

Unless the repair is very simple and inexpensive, I'd just replace 'em.
Can MDD PSUs be replaced with a common ATX PSU with nothing more than a
connector swap, or do they have a specialized output like the G3 iMacs
did to power the sound?

My MDD G4's also only shut down when I was not using them. But after
a while they began to occasionally refuse to start. Got a glowing

progressed to no starting at all. The shutting down on it's own was

Naw, it's the microprocessor on the board. I checked for continuity
on the switch, it works properly. It could also be the cable between
the board and the MB, but I have no easy way to check that.
