I have a Quicksilver 733Mhz.
I have a SATA HD that I`d like to install.
I`d like find a SATA card,reasonably priced,
so that I could have an internal SATA. I also
have a USB 2.0 card with four ports.
A friend gave me a one gig CPU fan. I wonder
why my Quicksilver does not have that fan.
If I am successful in putting this upgrade together,
I intend to use it for a home direct selling business.
I suppose I could buy a G5,but I don`t see why.
The CODB startup is tight. I`ll stay tight with
this group as I proceed. I have a working AD
733Mhz. That has a CPU fan. I`ll use it as I work
on the Quicksilver.

: Which G5 or older Mac

Your QS has a benchmark rating of 857.
As another poster stated, stay with the 2.3GHz G5, air cooled, it has
a benchmark of 1967, about 2.3X your current QS.
Can't say that sounds a lot faster ... with the increased bus speed of
the G5, you'd think it would register faster than what seems to be a cpu
speed factor ... I wonder if the QS was using an SATA drive off a PCI
card like I do, and would show a better comparison between machines? That
might even narrow the gap though, if they are not, and it is factored
into the benchmark.
Any one else have suggestions on a reasonably priced upgrade? Does
Rosetta work well, so that if I went Intel, I could still run all my PPC
apps? I know very little about the Rosetta idea. The Dual 2.3 GHz G5
sounds like the upper limit for PPC.
My art business is a bit slow in the Sales Department ...
Thanks for all the suggestions so far ... I decided to switch my DA for
my QS by trading hard drives and video cards ... using the QS now for my
daily work, and my DA for my display / connection to my LED TV. Speed was
not important to the TV and the QS is noticeably faster for my daily
music and visual arts work.
