What are the advantages between the G3 upgrades over the G4 upgrades?

why not purchase a g4 processor upgrade card for your lombard from
http://4daystar.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPRODProdID=78 , they will
fix your l2 cache for $19 with the processor upgrade. (use VLC for dvd
playback)

keep the pismo its a very durable caddylac last version of the classy

much as far as video card upgrades (so don't expect 50fps with unreal

So: clues for sources of reasonably priced 400MHz processors? Or for an
upgrade card? (Assuming one would work.) I've seen the ones that run
$300+, and I just can't afford that.
Lynn,
Last night I was scrounging the web for spare parts for a Pismo. I
saw a used Lombard processor board going
The cache memory has gone on my Lombard, so I need to (A) replace the
processor card, (B) get an upgrade card that can replace the processor
card, or (C) part it out and hope to find a better laptop for a
reasonable price. (C) is unlikely, since I'm unemployed and don't have
any spare money.
So
G'DAY GUYS,
MY PISMO IS STANDARD SPEC, BAR THE RAM UPGRADE I'VE PERFORMED RECENTLY
(576MB)
I'D LIKE TO UPGRADE THE HARD DRIVE, ALTHOUGH I HAVE ALL MY DOCUMENTS AND
PICTURES ON MY IPOD (SLOWER, BUT EFFECTIVE), I ONLY HAVE A GIG LEFT
(IT WAS DOWN TO 100MB) AND HAVE RECENTLY PURCHASED ADOBE CS
Hello G-Books list,
I'm a long time user of lowendmac but new to the list. I'm
wondering if anyone has experience or second-hand
knowledge of the Avanti 400Mhz G3 upgrade cards for the
Wallstreet II from Wegener Media. I've seen announcements
on lowendmac and other sites but few evaluations
I can't comment on the upgrade. I can say that I've purchased a few
things from Wegener in the past and other than a slow response (I like
quick replies immediate shipping) I got my money's worth (and I still
look at their specials).
My question for you is: do you like OS X as much as OS 9
