I wonder (anyone out there know?) if the upgrade would help as much with
Jaguar/Panther, since aren't the graphics chips on another board than the
'daughterboard' which has the CPU? If the graphics chipset is not
upgraded, I expect that will be some kind of slowdown factor (since the
graphics chipset affects the Quartz rendering (or lack of).
If anyone has done a G4 upgrade (or talked with a manufacturer of same),
you might speak about if it does/doesn't improve Quartz rendering under
Jaguar/Panther. Anyone know for sure?
