Do not spend more upgrading than the computer is worth at the present time.
Hmmm.
I think that's a bit simplistic. If you have a computer worth $50 and you can upgrade it for $150, or you can spend $300 on a new computer, you're better off with the upgrade.
Until fairly recently that's the situation we were in with Beige G3s. A B&W G3/300 would set you back $300 (and a Sawtooth G4 was even more), but a G4/500 ZIF for your G3 would cost $150.
Yes, but I don't think he was reaching back that far into legacy gear. There's still a big difference between a Beige G3, even with a G4 ZIF, and a G4 Sawtooth AGP. Of that much I'm pretty sure.
All the best, Ken N.
