<< Delaying the inevitable (G4/933) perhaps, but looking for list veteran advice between following two accelerator boards for my S900/233: Sonnet Technologies Crescendo G4/450 MHz w/1024k 2:1 Cache vs. XLR8 MACh Carrier SSE w/XLR8 MACh ZIF 450MHz 9x G4 1MB Cache Processor w/Altivec (OCW $299 and $329, respectively). Aside from the ZIF "advantage" (think they'll EVER make a chip over 450 for this machine?), can you pro's articulate the pros and cons of each device - in language that neophytes like myself can understand? Thanks, all! >> I have the XLR6 G3/400 card and it is pretty stable. I plan on moving up to a G4/450 soon as a last dying bid to keep up with the hardware requirements of some games I want to run. OWC has a rebate on their ZIFS. I can trade in my G3 ZIF and get $50.00 back after purchasing and upgrade. That puts me into a G4 for $200.00.
