I wonder (anyone out there know?) if the upgrade would help as much with Jaguar/Panther, since aren't the graphics chips on another board than the 'daughterboard' which has the CPU? If the graphics chipset is not upgraded, I expect that will be some kind of slowdown factor (since the graphics chipset affects the Quartz rendering (or lack of). If anyone has done a G4 upgrade (or talked with a manufacturer of same), you might speak about if it does/doesn't improve Quartz rendering under Jaguar/Panther. Anyone know for sure?
