I wouldn't put it beyond the guys (and gals?) at XLR8 to push the limits, even without the larger multiplier. We're talking about the folks who figured out how to put a G3 in the L2 cache slot of a TAM/4400/etc. You're right though, it's not worth holding one's breath over... The G4, however, is far from the end of its life. You never know exactly what we might see there. Perhaps an upgrade ZIF with on-board L2 and L3? The XLR8 Carrier remains a good bargain should you one day want two processors, more on-board cache, or what-have-you. It's always good to have that kind of growing space. Then again, I'm quite happy with 200Mhz; I will enjoy the boost to 500Mhz when it comes to encoding, but anything beyond that would just be a waste methinks. -- --Chris PM 7500/604e 200Mhz 4 gig SCSI 256 megs OS 8.6 (This machine rocks!) -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
