--- good feedback bruce... I'v been looking hard at a DA 533 or maybe even a DA Dual 533 or maybe a DA 733 ...on the outside even a Quicksilver 733 (maybe I'm wishing a bit) ...all use a 133 bus which move them closer to today's mac's
I started out looking for a Sawtooth ...but the bus speed has me thinking a bit. I had a sweet sounding G4 DA Dual 533 in my sights the day on e-bay but the pric jumped from the mid $500's to over &750 in the last 5 min and for that price I would have wanted a Quicksilver! Sometime folks on e-bay get a little out of hand. ric Bruce Johnson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On Saturday, July 31, 2004, at 09:45 PM, Rick > wrote: > > > --- > > Yo > > > > I'v tried to stay with my MT 333MHz but the 66 MHz > bus > > is a killer ... > > The bus speed hump is somewhat evadable by two > upgrades: a good video > card like a Radeon 7000, and a faster ATA > controller.
