I have an old 8600 with a burned out processor card. I would like to upgrade it and put Panther on board. If memory serves correctly, the least I will need is a G3 processor card, an ATA PCI card, and an IDE drive. Is that a pretty good assessment? What other suggested upgrades are there for the 8600 that would be wise? Will the AV in/out board still be usable?
A year ago this would have been a reasonable plan. Today, regretfully, your best bet is to pool the money for the upgrades and pick up a used G4.
I have to agree with this. Your money is much better spent on eBay and used G4 - or even a used B&W G3!
