Fellow gentlebeings, I'm sure I saw it discussed somewhere (here? on applefritter? some obscure web forum in another dimension? in a dream? i dream of long lists of mac-related hardware these days, you know . . .), but I can't seem to find the link now, if there was one in the first place. And

So yeah: do I really need a G4, and are there any cheaper/faster options, such as getting the G3 and overclocking it, or is 500 mhz the limit on a WallStreet because of bus speed? You'll be much happier with G4 so don't even consider G3...seriously. Here's an affordable upgrade from an

100/133 mhz shouldn't really make that much of a difference due to backwards compatibility, insofar as I understand it. There's industry standard backward compatibility and then there's Mac standard backward compatibility. Wallstreets will not accept many high density PC100 and PC133 sticks.

Wallstreets and similar machines (Beige G3, for example) have problems with high density chips, and more particularly high density chips on one or both sides of the stick. Even low density chips on both sides of the stick can be a problem. Later machines, say, BW and Lombard/Pismos do not
