How much of a performance difference is there between the Yosemite and the Yikes or Sawtooth? What are the pitfalls? LEM says "When buying a blue & white G3, insist on getting a Revision 2 system" - what is so bad about the Rev. 1?
I have a 450 B&W G3 and it works great. There is a lot of great info on this page:
<http://www.lowendmac.com/ppc/g3c.shtml> and <http://www.barefeats.com/g450.html>
The lowendmac.com page explains the rev 1/2 issue. The G3 chip is essentially the G4 without the Altivec velocity engine. The barefeats.com page illustrates this pretty well.
One of the G4 mobos you mention, can't remember which, is just a G3 board with a G4 chip on it. So, check that out before you commit.
I want to use it to take over the job of hosting the (modest) web sites that my iMac presently hosts. This is not just static HTML, it would have to cope with PHP and dynamically resizing images with GD for my online photo gallery.
I'd get a G3 450 min. Probably go with a G4 800 for this. The more the better, I always say...
Thanks,
Glenn
