All the recent talk about beige G3s, upgrades, and OS X performance has me wanting to run some benchmarks. I have a beige G3/266 with a stock 4 GB hard drive running OS X v10.1.5. I also have a Seagate Barracude and IBM DeskStar drive that I can test in it, thanks to Carbon Copy Cloner.
I've finally found a benchmark program, SpeedRun PPC, that measures all the usual stuff and runs under Mac OS X, so I've got the software. What I'm interested in is acquiring or borrowing faster G3 processors and/or PCI video cards for testing purposes. If you have a pulled G3 or ATI video card you'd be willing to loan or donate to Low End Mac for testing purposes, please contact me directly at [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- do not reply to the list.
