Well I'm not using a G4 but thought I'd write anyway. I started with an XLR8 Carrier Zif with G3 300mhz card bought as a package for a good price. Later of course I wanted a faster upgrade but they were just too expensive. Finally I saw an OWC mercury G3 500mhz Zif upgrade which I could afford. It was half what the other companies wanted. I wasn't sure it would work well but went ahead and bought it. It has ran over clocked to 550mhz for over a year with no problems at all. If you do get a bad one OWC will take it back. I say go for it! Will S PS the UMAX J700/S900 doesn't have the 6 slot PCI card issue with G4 upgrades that the Apple 9500,9600 and PowerTower Pro machines do! -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
