I work in Logic 6.3.2 on a dual 1.25GHz G4, most of the time I am under 
30% CPU with fairly complex arrangments, but I have maxed it out with 
one song (12 audio tracks, hundreds of audio files, 5+ virtual 
instruments, maxing out the CPU on my UAD-1 card, LOTS of insert 
effects, auxes sending to auxes, extremely dense MIDI data). It's 
powerful, but probably about the same as your P4/2.4, not worth the 
switch unless you want to use OSX (which I highly recommend, I love it).

By the way, if you want to get rid of those two tiny, useless 20" LCDs, 
I'll take them off your hands... :)
