A friend just gave me his old Power Mac 7300. I wasn't thinking too much about it. I figured I'd use the full keyboard, mouse, and 17" monitor with the docking station on my PB3400 and the 7300 itself would become a doorstop somewhere. (The 7300 has the same RAM and Processor speed as my PB3400, so why give up the portability.)
Then I got to thinking... I can't upgrade my PB to a G3, or better yet, a G4, but for the 7300, there are plenty of daughter card upgrades. Can any of you recommend good cards vs bad cards, things to watch out for? I was thinking of going with the Sonnet G4 daughter card w/ a 1MB cache in either the 400Mhz or 800Mhz variety... Have any of you installed these and run into troubles that I should no about? My goal is to get OS X on it and have it run decently. (I think OS X runs a little slowly on a 266Mhz G3 so performance is an issue for me. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
