>> G3s were very upgradeable with the ziff sockets, but as we go along it seems the processors are almost one offs in terms of cache and configurations. That's why there's nothing for my 350 G4 except a very expensive dual card. It's a drag.<< Doren - Yes, I see your point. I am also an avid upgrader, and I like the idea of being able to replace a processor, or a video card, etc. At least the G4 towers can be expanded with standard PCI cards. Adding a U160 SCSI card and fast hard drive to my wife's dual G4 533 made a lot of difference. Often by the time it's time to get a new processer, though, the system bus or other components are too slow or otherwise outmoded. - Allen
