Re: What to buy: G4/700 or G3/900 for Beige?

[Clyde Kahrl]

First let me note that I realize that this is about old macs, and 
that you have probably already thought of this, but on the off chance 
you haven't, Here is my opinion:   I have 2 Beige G3s and one has a 
G4 in it.   I have a 450 G4Cube.     Don't waste that much  money on 
the G3 because the disk drives are so slow  and you will never be 
able to make them faster.  File transfers to and from my 
cube--whether firewire, ethernet, or even partition to partition--are 
almost 10 times faster than either of the beige boxes.   Get a used 
G4 on 3Bay;  it will have faster disks and video and take  more ram 
and  more disks.  It will have USB and firewire.  And you will  have 
2 computers instead of one.
