OWC has 1 800MHz G4 for the Sawtooth in stock for $95 http://eshop.macsales.com/item/PowerLogix/PF57SA08002M/ They also have 512MB PC133 sticks of ram for $33. http://eshop.macsales.com/item-specials/Other%20World%20Computing/ 133SD512328/ Upgrading the ram (512 is realistic minimum and 1Gb will give you a fair amount of breathing room) and possibly adding the 800MHz (total upgrade price of $135) is about the max of what I would spend on a sawtooth. If you spend any more, you might as well upgrade to a QS (there was one on the swap list for $200 this morning) or a G5 (the original series are showing up on ebay for under $400 now) That being said, I have over spent upgrading my DA, but bringing home small boxes (a dual 1.2, 4 HDs, SATA card, Radeon 9600XT, USB 2 card, 1.5GB ram) over a few months time does not burn the husband points like bringing in a whole new computer, and husband points are VERY expensive to earn and keep.
