I have a Desktop Beige G3 233 (rev 2), 768MB Ram, 120GB and 40GB internal IDE hard
drives (master/slave), TDK 40/12/48x CDRW, 6MB VRam, and OS 9.2.2

I recently upgraded my processor with a Zif G4 450 with Altivec/Velocity Engine
support. When I use Powerlogix Altivec Enabler (in Extensions) with Logic Audio or
iTunes I get pops and clicks.  If I disable Velocity Engine support from within
Logic the pops and clicks go away. iTunes deosn't seem to have a way to disiable
Velocity Engine so the only way I can get the pops and clicks to go away is if I
boot without the Altivec Enabler extension.  Note: the pops and clicks show up in
mp3's I've converted from AIFF with iTunes, and they go away when Altivec is
disabled.

My Question:

Should I return my G4 450 upgrade and exchange it for a G3 533 at the same price?
Am I just waisting my G4 with Altivec if I primarily use audio applications that
don't work well with it?  I also use i-net browsers, text editors, and occasionally
photoshop. I don't use OS 10.2 much at all.

Thanks
