It depends on what I'm using a computer for and how much S/W and H/W
I've added to the PM 9500. If you are just a general user, then I
would suggest a G3 upgrade card (400 Mhz or better) and more RAM.
Both are dirt cheap right now, and unless you are a big time FPS
(Frames Per Second) games player or pushing Audio (more than just
playing MP3s) or Video around any more computing horse power would be
wasted.
