Hi, I've been considering a G4/533 upgrade for my Beige/266. It's the OWC Mercury card, which sells for $150.
I was told to just dump the Beige and get a G4/500 on eBay, for many reasons, but the biggest being that the Beige has an IDE bus running at 16.5mhz -- not the ATA/66 bus on the G4. Is this true? I was told that it doesn't matter what I do to the Beige, that the ultra-slow IDE bus will negate a large share of any upgrade. I have an old Sonnet Tempo/66 card that still works. Would I be better off putting that in the Beige to run hard drives from, then get the G4 upgrade? Could use some help here, if you've been down the same road. Thanks.
