Re: Is it time to upgrade?

I don't have the exact knowledge of the specs on those Ti models, however if they have a video card that is quartz extreme compatible, you will notice some improvement in the way os x runs over an upgraded g4 pismo. Also it matters what type of programs are you running? If you are using a lot of altivec coded software a g4 upgrade or going to a Ti will improve your performance noticeably I would say. If not, perhaps a consideration into one of the G3 750fx upgrades should be considered.

I have a G3 Pismo. I'm pretty happy with it, but I do envy the screen space on my wife's 15" Al-book. I also wouldn't mind a bit of extra speed, but not sure how much bang for the buck I'd get to upgrade. I've been looking at the G4 667. Is the difference between the earlier ones and the later DVI models significant? It looks like it might be. How would the Ti 667 compare with putting a 500mhz Daystar G4 in my Pismo? Or maybe just sit tight with the Pismo for a while--it's still a very nice machine. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- --------- Jim Eddy James Eddy Woodworks [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mount Pleasant, Michigan http://jameseddywoodworks.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------
