--- Yo I'v tried to stay with my MT 333MHz but the 66 MHz bus is a killer ... i have findly had it and have just upgraded to a new (all be it used) G4 533 MHZ (Digital Audio) ,t's has a 133 MHz bus ..the difference is night and day ...better and faster and upgrades easly. Any of the Digital Audio's will work well (i.e. 466 / 533 / 667 / 733 or the Dual 533 ...I had looked for a "Quick Silver" or a "Quick Silver 2002" but the price break was better with the Digital Audio
