Hello May I add some thoughts & questions to consider before B&W owners jump into the pool with big bucks ! The backside cache is only 512K and not 1MB like my G4 500MHZ ZIF. So, how much better operating response would this G3 800/512 have over a G4 500/1MB? "Blazing " ? .I will bet not very much more , but then ? How about the extra heat that would be generated? With G4 upgrade , I had to go to the larger V2 heatsink and an add-on fan to keep the G4 500MHZ CPU down to 40C at 22C ambient! And to do this: I have three internal hard drives installed . I unmount two of them and only run my bootup ( primary) drive to work my stuff. I only mount the other volumes for backing up my primary drive data, as required. albert B&W Yosemite V1 -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
