My fellow PowerBook-philes, In a fit of unbridled upgrade-frenzy I am contemplating going all out on the two Wallstreets I picked up on E-Bay recently. One alreayd has a 466 mhz G3 processor upgrade (maybe a Newer Tech version?) and the other is a 300 mhz G3.
The question is: Should I upgrade the second book to a 500mhz using Sonnet? (G3 upgrade only US$199) How much better would the G4 upgrade be? My reason for asking is sheer curiousity. That and by spending the time writing this I am not looking at the Sonnet website nor on E-Bay and willfully spending money on Mac products I do not need. The one thing I wonder: Would Tiger even run on a G3 Wallstreet? Would it work better on a G4? Would any of this make a significant speed difference? >From what I read, the real limitations can be found in the video processor. I have an iBook G4 1.2ghz with 768 RAM and Mac OS X and various programs run quite well. How would a G4 500mhz Wallstreet compare? Oh the curiousity. If I were a cat, I might be dead ... or stuck in some hole, in a tree, or on a roof mewing. Sincerely, Pacer the Loon -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
