PISMO G4 UPGRADE - Does it make sense with linux?



Hi there!

I'm thinking of upgrading my Powerbook Pismo (400Mhz) to a G4 (550Mhz) and wanted to know if it maces sense under linux. I run Gnome desktop and a CPU meter and it runs crazy when I open an App, display flash movies, or try to look at dvd's
So probably the Altivec Engine could do a real good job?
But is it supported and will tis bring a good amount of speed, because for a 150Mhz clockspeed increase this upgrade is too expensive for me! Oh and by the way if anybody has experience with such an upgrade, i'm interested....

Thanks a lot,

Rainer
