I bought the OWC G3/533 while it was available, for $159.99, and I am pleased 
with it.

In my Beige G3, 533 is the max for the OWC 533 G3 without overclocking 
Beige's the bus, anyway. Of course, Sonnet's 10X multiplier can overcome that 
limitation.

If you don't need the G4's Altivec feature, then why pay extra for it?

The 333 G3 which was removed from my Beige G3 is now working fine at 350 in a 
"six slot edition" 9600 ZIF carrier.
