Well, as I look back... my first S900 upgrade was from the stock single 200mhz 604e, to a 233mhz G3. The performance increase was very noticeable and benchmarks verified the improvement. So, although dual 604e processors is a lot better than single, moving up to a G3/300 will still offer a noticeable improvement. Adding even more emphasis to the improvement would be if the G3/300 had a 1mb backside cache. (as opposed to the 512k cache my first G3/233 had) I guess my vote is for the G3/300 in nearly every usage category I can think of. Not the least of which is playing 3D games, but for most other uses as well. -Howie -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
