<snip> Note that the bottom has now dropped out of the G3 market so you will not be able to sell the machine. And remember, for a sense of proportion, just always compare everything to a refurbished eMac on the Apple site.
This is great advice. The difference with the faster system bus, DDR memory and the G4 processor, make it real hard to look at upgrading a G3. The perceived, and real, speed differences make it a whole different generation of computing. One thing you can do that really shows the difference, if you know some one with a maxed out older G3 DT or MT? Go and run a few programs on it, then hie thyself to an Apple Store and run the same things on their slowest e-Mac. It's pretty mind boggling. Even if you add a G4 card to the G3 you're still stuck with the 66 MHz system bus. You will notice the differences.
