I know you're not looking for high end and gaming, but if you can get a Radeon 7000 for a decent price it's worth it. The acceleration for daily work, especially if you're working with video files, and even for web surfing is nice. Offering up a personal opinion. I would rip that "removing this voids warrenty" sticker off the motherboard and kick that baby up to 83MHz. I've been running this one at 83MHz and with a 400MHz zif overclocked to 458MHz for nearly a year and it's been rock solid. Most apps. in 10.1.5 run as fast or faster than in 9.2.2. Don't know about Jaguar, haven't got there yet. -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
