hi all

looking into buying a secondary system whose main purpose will be to house my music collection (that and everyday websurfing).

anyhow, i don't have a whole lot of money available for this but i have a couple of options on either side of the mac/pc divide. basically, i'm looking for some idea as to which of the following configurations will give me the fastest rippping speed (i've been mainly using itunes on a PC) to cut down the time it takes to rip my rather substantial music collection.

k, the new options first:

-mac mini, G4 1.42 mhz 512 RAM
-dell E310, 2.8ghz P4 256 RAM (RAM obviously will need to be upgraded)


used options (obviously a little more affordable which gives me some room to update/upgrade):

-PowerMac G4 dual 533mhz 512 RAM
-Dell GX240 1.6mhz P4 256 RAM

any ideas/comments on this would be appreciated, thanks
