i also see from wegener media:
allegro g3/500 for $270
presto! g4/500 for $220
avanti g3/400 for $99
on the allegro page they also say:
"Why not G4?
Good question.. But think about it. The only real advantage of G4 is the
Altivec processor, which is rarely utilized, except for video processing.
And the Wallstreet is really not set up for video processing anyway, so if
you WERE going to do video, you'd save that extra $150, and get a Pismo.
So, our opinion is, get the Allegro, save your pennies, and get on with
life!"

i've been meaning to fix my 250 wallstreet for some time now, i've got the
sound card/power supply part to replace, i'm getting more ram to install (2 x
256), and now i'm thinking... is it worth it to buy one of those sonnet
crescendo upgrades?
owc lists two models, one is a g4/500 upgrade for $350 and the other is a
g3/500 upgrade for $200.
i'll likely do the processor upgrade, but can anyone tell me, is the g4 worth
$150 more than the g3? anyone have any experience or knowledge?
thanks in advance.
