Anyway, I dont know if the blue g3 has a 128bit data path or 64 bit, but that would make a much greater difference than a 33mhz increase in bus speed. bus speed is not as much of as factor when you have a fast l2 and l3 cache. And a DA (the first g4 with a 133mhz bus) is still very expensive. at any rate, its cheaper to throw in a sawtooth mobo into a blue g3 so if youre going g4, id say the best option is to get a sawtooth. unless you have more money for a DA or MDD. at least the sawtooth has 4 ram slots and that extra ram slot is more important to me than a 33mhz increase in bus. chris -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
