I have never used PS 4 but i do have PS 3 ..... It started off rather Buggy
but is alright now. I don't see that there is really any alternative to
Pagestream (as far as DTP Goes)

Is it worth the Price tag .... Check out the Prices in DTP on the PC then
the answer is YES.

Mind you, YOU can/or used to be able to get PS 2 for £25

It really depends on what you want from the software you have

I Used PS on 030/40mhz for years ... until I upgraded to a 060.

It will work OK on you system :)
