Re: G3/900 for Pismo?

[Melvin Watts]

Unless your doing graphic intensive apps or video processing I wouldn't 
worry too  much about  altivec. . .  anyway,  I hear that the 
powerlogix's G3/900MHZ processor cards, ironic though it may seem,  is 
actually faster than the G4/500MHZ according to some bench test.

check out this link:

I have a G3/500MHZ Pismo that I bought from a guy oversees, well taken 
of I might add. .
and it's the best mobile unit that I've ever had. . I have no desire at 
all to upgrade to another computer. Oh, and another thing, the only  
reason why I have not upgraded to the Blue Chip Pismo card from 
Powerlogix is because I'm a little unsure about heat issues. . as you 
know that powerbooks run a little warm anyway, and with a faster chip. 
. well, I'm just not sure. You might need to checkout some bench test 
before you buy.

I'm considering this upgrade, can some recommend this(or advise 
against it). I don't really need the Altivec(I think) and I've already 
maxed out the memory and gotten a new disk. Are there any other 
upgrades I sould look at?

I love my Pismo too much to trade her in if I don't really have to.

Any advice is welcome.
