I have a G3 MT running at 300MHz. I am considering getting a Sonnet Encore G4 500MHz ZIF. I checked the different mail order houses in Canada for price and availability. One of them gave me the impression that a ZIF upgrade may not be as transparent as you'd think:
"This is a final sale, we do not reimburse or exchange or service these cards once sold. The reason being because they are temperamental, they work once in a blue moon. It could work fine or not. The company that produces these cards do not even give support for their cards." 1. Are Sonnet ZIFs 'temperamental'? '...work once in a blue moon'? 2. I understand that I should check the voltage regulator in my Mac and as long as it's not a Royal brand, what else goes wrong with a ZIF upgrade? 3. Among the Sonnet Encore customers, what are the success stories, what are the horror stories? Post here or e-mail me directly. Sean -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
