My beige G3/233 seems to be happy with 10.2.8 on it. Is there any advantage to

certainly makes it attractive, but realistically from a user's point of view,
just how much difference will I see? I use the machine for some Photoshop/
Illustrator work, word processing and the web e-mail thing.
If speed is an issue, you may want to consider a ZIF upgrade. You can pick up a G4/533 for ~$150 from OWC, which would make Photoshop run *muuuuch* better. I'd be afraid of actual usefulness of it on a 233/10.3 config. I know iPhoto is unbearably slow on my 300, so much so that I have stopped using it except in "emergencies" :)

I have been considering a G 4 upgrade for my Beige. Wouldn't the problem of the stock video still preclude installation of 10.3?
Related question. If I upgrade my G4/400 PCI Yikes with a faster card, can I put the removed 400 mHZ card in the Beige G3?
