Scott, like others have said, the answer is 'it depends'. I've upgraded a 9500 with a Sonnet G4, more memory, an ATA controler card (the second one; the SIIG card never did work properly and I've given up entirely on it), big ATA drives, etc. If you like to tinker with computers, roll your own, like to spend money, etc., then go for the upgrades. If you intend to actaully do something important, or somethink work-related, then don't waste your time or money. You'll be much, MUCH happier that you choose to just spend a few more dollars (literally, not much more) and pick up an early G3 or G4 machine, and run OSX without the hack, wonderful as it is, of XPostFacto. I try to use my 9500 machine for my work, and I've wasted far too much time tracking down a host of various problems and incompatibilities, and too much money that would have been better spent on a Mac that is already OSX compatible. I now regret my choice to upgrade, and wish I'd spent the money for a slightly newer machine. Just two-cents worth from someone that has gone the upgrade route. It made sense maybe a year or more ago, but not any longer, IMHO. ---Alex -- Unsupported OS X is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> Unsupported OS X list info <http://lowendmac.com/lists/unsupported.html> --> AOL users, remove "mailto:"; Send list messages to: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Archive <http://www.mail-archive.com/unsupportedosx%40mail.maclaunch.com/> Using a Mac?
