Should I upgrade or buy this new system?

[NavySEAL]

Do you think the Dual G5 would be a better choice or upgrades to my current PC?

Option 1:
Powermac G5 Dual 1.8 Rev B
1GB RAM
80 GB sata drive
Secondary 160 GB sata drive
Superdrive
NVidia Geforce FX 5200 graphics card

Option 2 (Upgrades to my current pc in my sig):
CPU: Intel 3Ghz upgraded to an AMD X2 4400+
Motherboard: Abit IC7-G MAX II upgraded to a ASUS A8N-SLI Premium
Video Card: Geforce 6800 GT upgraded to a Geforce 7800 GTX

I already have a Macintosh Powerbook 17" as my laptop and the PC as my desktop. I want to know which would you prefer and are the upgrades worth it?

Apple is suppose to be releasing x86 version of os10 soon, ive read this will be running great on intel chipsets but will perform worse on amd, windows 64bit is suppose to run quicker on windows while intel is suppose to perform quiet a bit slower... So its a toss up i'd say on which OS you'd like to run... either way i'd stick with a custom build, probley get out cheaper and you will KNOW what parts you have!
