Ha. I'm surprised at just how well the 117 does, overall. MacResq has 166's for sale for $50 (!!!): http://www.macresq.com/store/detail.php?prodID=661-1380 For $180, though, you can get a "real" processor (250 MHz G3 with 1 meg of cache) at Technowarehouse (never purchased from there myself): http://www.technowarehousellc.com/technowarehouse/g325netepo14.html *OR* you could always get on eBay quickly and hope the G3 466 MHz that's there now doesn't go much higher than it already has ($185.55 right now) and max your machine out. A better idea is probably to try tracking down everyone on eBay who *wins* a G3 upgrade! If they aren't replacing a 117 themselves, you might be able to get something awfully cheap. Hrm. Not such a bad idea. Forget I said that. I want first dibs! (jk) Really, though, spending much over $15-$20 for a 603e seems a bit much to me. Seems like that's money better spent going to the G3 and running OS 9, iTunes, and friends. (Though lem does say, "Add[ing] in the L2 cache on the 133 MHz model made it about 25-30% faster overall [than the 117].") Ruffin Bailey -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
