Hi Guys, I'm currently running a 9600/350 (native daughterboard) and have a shot at getting a 500MHz upgrade for $50 or so.
Before I "take the plunge," though, I wanted to see if anyone else on the board knew of any sweet deals for faster upgrades. If I had my druthers, of course, I'd rather a 700-800MHz upgrade (or faster). The cost-benefit ratio is definitely nagging me as I fret over this. �_� What do you guys see 500 MHz or faster upgrades go for these days? Has the Mac Mini caused pricing on PPC upgrades to drop yet? Is there, perhaps, a "cost per MHz" scale to use when pricing these things out? The dilemma here is: Do I _really_ want to pour more money into my 9600 box? Beloved though it is, I'm mindful that any upgrade I get is going to get choked by the wretched 50MHz bus speed. or Am I just flogging a dead horse here and should just go for a Mini (Mark II)? I know you guys all love your PPC boxes as much as I do mine, so I am trying to get a variety of opinions to weigh. Anything you guys have to contribute on this would be most welcome.
