I'm fairly new to Macs, and have enjoyed playing around with the 7200 I bought a few weeks ago. However its lack of performance is really starting to annoy me. I've looked at its' upgrade path which sounds ok, but I want your advice on whether it is really worth it. For AU$637 (around $420 US?) I worked out I could install:
Sonnet G3 400 extra 256mb RAM (total then being 288mb) ATI Radeon 7000 PCI video card USB+Firewire card Quantum 18.3GB 7200rpm SCSI HD Would this make my mac a decent everyday computer for internet, MS Office and listening to MP3s/watching downloaded DIVX movies? Or would it be a better bet to find a b/w G3 tower and spend a little money on that? Also, would the above config run OS X ok? -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
