Mac And Audio Noob, dual g4 vs single g5 ??? Options

[Devlfrmhvn]

First off, sorry if this is posted somewhere else i looked arround and coudint find a real answer to my question.
Ok so here we go, im looking at buying my first mac. and i have done quite a bit of price shopping and what i have come up with is this... for about the same price i can get into a single 1.6 g5 or a dual 1.25 g4... So in your opinion what would be the better macine for me to buy? Im planning on building a small studio in my home down the road and for now i will be using a either a Digi 002 or a TDM settup with a 888 i/o i havent exactly decided on what system i want to go with... either way i wlll be in a Pro Tools enviroment for school and for my home recording use.

Also my parents are buying me this machine for school and to use there after, and well im a broke ass college student as it is, so i will be keeping this machine for quite a few years.

So... what would be the better machine for me? And please dont tell me to get a dual g5 because its not financialy possible.

I am also aware that both fo these will need more ram.
Thanks again for your advice

I've got a G5 single with 1G of ram (2 would be better) and it's a nice set up. If you want to go a tad cheaper check out monitors that aren't Apple. Costco had a nice 19" flat monitor that should work for a bit less than the Apple monitors. Don't forget to get some external storage for later on.
