ut before I bought my G4 Digital Audio I had a G3 Beige MT. I put

the Radeon 7000. Also a firewire/usb pci card. I ran the latest
version of a
high end video editor and did very sophisticated work. Just a
little slower
than the other guys, mostly in rendering, much of which can be done
overnight.
Newer is better, but some of the investment in an older machine can
be moved up
to newer. Drives, ATA cards and some memory (PC 133) will work
fine in the DA
or Quicksilver models.
Unfortunately, the cost of all those improvements you made to the G3
are prohibitive today; they'd cost more than buying a Mini, and that
would be a brand new computer. Moving from the G3 to an AGP G4 of
some sort IS the 'phased improvement'.
