I work at a Mac store here in Ottawa and I know that those beige G3s aren't
worth anymore than $200-$250. Even B&W G3s aren't worth more than
$300-$400... MAYBE close to $450-$500 for a fully loaded machine (max ram,
radeon card, big HD).



So, is it worth upgrading one of these beige G3s with a G4 card? And can such an upgraded machine run OS X?


I have a friend who has one and wants to stick a 700 MHz card in it. I saw the following prices on the Mantek site for Encore G4s:

G4 500 MHz $265 CDN
G4 700 MHz $459 CDN
G4 1.0 GHz $653 CDN

Are these upgrades worth it?

Thanks.
