Ah, but this fails to answer the burning question (for me, anyway) -- is the plural "Sawtooths" or "Sawteeth"? :0) More seriously, as one who is watching older G4 prices drop quite a bit on eBay since The Announcement (& yes, 40something still, I am drooling myself, with anticipation of running X in style), I have a few questions: What exactly is the advantage of having a single-processor Gigabit Ethernet machine over a Sawtooth? I know, the Gb ethernet. But I'm not going to be in a networked environment. And a dual-processor, if there is one. (You can't put an MP proc from an MP in a Sawtooth, can you? What I've read says no. Don't know about 3rd party upgrades...) A Gigabit still has the x2 AGP. Quarta Extreme support begins at x4, right? You have to go to a Digital Audio. for that. My documentation for 10.2.x says x4 AGP & 32 MB card for QE. The Rage 128 Pro cards don't qualify, right? If so, I probably should hold out for a DA, don't you think? This may be my last new (to me) Mac, before the Changeover to Intel. -- Bill Art page: <http://geocities.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
