Re: XLR8 MachSpeed G4 Upgrade

[Marc]

I'm using the XLR8 G4/500 in my B&W and have no horrorstories. It came 
with a cd with the firmware-upgrade and software to manipulate the 
cache-speed. I'm still using the original passive cooler that came with 
the g3. It replaced a g3/400 and the speed-increase was  noticable, 
check xlr8yourmac for benchmarks. But i'm using iDVD alot so you do 
need a G4 for that.

Folks,

Looking for any one with experience with an XLR8 G4 ZIF MachSpeed 
upgrade in there G3 B&W. I understand I will need a BIOS hack. My 
current G3 is a 400. I am looking at a G4-400. I do not run any apps 
that take advantage of the Alti-Vec engine. I do use iTunes, Mac 
Office X, Safari and Mail. If the OS X interface is speeded up 
considerable it would be worth my while.

Any Horror stories???

Brian
