Thanks for input.
My video card is a Rage 128 Pro. I also have a
900-04023-4313-60E which has a 28v notation.
I intend to put a four port 2.0 USB card in.

Subject: Re: Upgrade my Quicksilver
I have Tiger,and 1 gig of memory.
I had a very similar G4 (G4 DA 667).
IMHO, 1GB Ram is enough for common use, but it's not if you're using
"heavyweight" apps (Adobe InDesign and Photoshop, and the like), or you
like
keeping lots of apps open.
Upgrading to 1,5GB (Quicksilver's max) can somehow improve speed, I think.
I think a CPU upgrade is the most speed-effective upgrade you can do.
Second one would be a better graphic card, especially if you're into
videogames (I am :-).
Which graphic card you actually have?
Perhaps a modern and big IDE drive would give you the same speed
improvement, and in a simpler way.
(a SATA drive would make transition to a future G5 - or better - simpler,
thou)
BTW, there's a simple hack to make drives bigger than 128GB totally usable
in old G4s (in OSX, at least).
