My reason for doing so is primarily for the AGP slot.... being a mac gamer is tough life as it is and Im sure that the next generation of games are gonna make my Mac Radeon look like a voodoo2 so thats gonna leave me with 4 options 3 & 4 being a console or a pc. 1 is the most favorable... flash a Geforce PCI card to go in my B&W. 2 is an AGP Mac
my secondary reason for a dif. motherboard is bus speed increase. (once had thoughts of putting a B&W MB in my 9600 =) <lasted 3 sec.> the 100% increase over my 9600 is still dreamy at the moment, but if given the chance Id jump an another 33% jump in bus speed. =) almost 200% over the 9600 I was using earlier in the year . am I correct in assuming that the 667 and the 733 <because of the digital audio> are the DVI's / Im having trouble getting classifications on those. >> but still same bus speed as a pci board so the DV or the >> Quicksilver seem to be the way to go. > > No the D.A. and QS won't fit :\ they have 5 slots, the B&W G3 has 4 > holes - no go seeing as one of the only reasons I even wanted to do it > was for an AGP slot.... as far as the pci slot issue goes.... I think it still may be able to be worked around with a little cuttin' and snippin' and movin' the back plate until it lines up correctly with atleast 3 =) of the slots - and 4 of the 5 would be even better. (Id be fine with leaving one or two inaccessable from the back...maybe an ide controller or something internal to put in hidden slot/s. my biggest issue is $ If I have to buy much more than a MB to get it to work then Id be better off just going for the whole package as well. > This is looking increasingly like a 'stop being a fool and buy a new > Mac' scenario :). -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
