I have a Sonnet 300MHz G3 upgrade in a PowerMac 9500 with OS8.6,
running Retrospect to backup about 170 machines. It runs like a
champ. If you're just backing up two machines, why put in a
processor upgrade? If you want to speed up your backups, upgrading
to a high-speed SCSI drive setup would do the trick.
