I wouldn't consider G4s old and slow... 8 gigs of ram and a dual 3.6g xeon processors isn't all that slow or shabby.
except today's model is 48GB of ram[1] and dual 6 core 3Ghz CPUs, each core of which is significantly faster than those P4/Netburst xeon. With virtualization, one of these servers can likely support 8 or more VMs each with the performance of your G4s
[1] the config I just ordered, 48GB uses half the ram slots, so I can easily double that to 96GB by adding 6 more 8GB dimms
