Watch out for the limited video support on earlier macs -- I think that was back in the 68000-68020 series, like the LC, though.
Amiga fans use an 800Mhz G4 on the top end, from what I've seen, although there is a lot of overclocking I'm missing...

Aimless rants aside, I have a lot of respect for the chip family. I am a bit sad with AMD's current slip in the race as I've sided with their design choices, but Intel is just kicking right now with an easy jump to core quad, sigh...

I thought now that everyone is going over to Intel-style chip sets that the PowerPC archetecture was as you put it....dead??? I recall back in the high glory days of mac-insider leaks that they had scheduled the G's on through a G7. think it was MacUser mag back in 96'-the same source that had ACCURATELY...up to date.... mapped the evolution of MacOS (including their migration to a kernel based on Next and/or Unix) through MacOS 12! What they never counted on was the return of Steve Jobs, and Apple's subsequent regression back to the stone-age point-and-click-dependant section of their R&D dept. If memory serves, we are about 2 or so years behind their predictions. I attribute the lag to Mac hanging on to the iMac too long. Of all of the systems I've seen at the CRRC, 90% of them are iCraps.-E
