I agree with HH. Keep an eye on ebay for a 300 Mhz processor from a seller with a good track record and I think you could find one for around $100. It'll provide a very good speed boost and is not that hard to install. If you've already upgraded the ram in the bottom slot you know how to upgrade the processor. Speed in OS X is pretty subjective, though I wouldn't want to be using a G3/300. That said, I've talked to people with G3/233 Wallstreets and they find OS X "pretty snappy". Dual batteries are a great feature. Did you check Smartdisk at <www.smartdisk.com> for availability? They had some great prices a few weeks ago: 50% off brought prices down to around $75 IIRC. They also had the "Mobility Bundle" (battery, external charger and AC adapter) at $100, after 50% off. Good luck. Chris -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
