You are keeping track correctly --there are only two PC slots for all those cards. I usually keep the wireless card in one and switch the other between a USB card and the DVD decoder, as needed. You can add Firewire, too, like John points out. > Okay- good concrete guidelines upon which to cogitate!! Steps 1 and 2 you will find easy. G3 or G4 Wallstreet CPU upgrades are hard to come by these days, though --I lucked out and got a Sonnet G4 500 on the list, but they are "rarer than hen's teeth," like the person who sold it to me put it. But maxing out the RAM will give it a big boost., anyway.
