Maxing Out A Powermac G4

hi all,

wondering components whorls best upgrading powermac g4 near max specs. have eye on sonnet encore st 1ghz 7455 cpu upgrade on ebay. while know not best cpu upgrade out there think offers performance price. need discs use in agp powermac g4 because 1 watching not come discs pull working system?

graphics card stuck between pc nvidia geforce 7800gs or pc nvidia geforce 6200. 1 offer better performance.

need buy actual powermac g4. powermac g4 model offer best reliability/performance. whatever model choose max out ram.

in advance

 

what pmac ??

cos mdd/fw800 needs different kind of cpu-modules quicksilver , older.

max ram 2gb mdd/fw800 , of real old ones, while quicksilver take 3x512mb.

depending on exact model might run extreme ide-slowness , limitations on hd-size (a sata-card might come handy here).

depending how cheap 1ghz sonnet (this work in quicksilver , older) might find bargain on mdd (these have faster cpu stock base model).

, offcourse hints budget , planned useage-pattern might helpfull.

advise:
wait qs cpu-upgrade >=1.6ghz included or hunt down stock mdd/fw800.
