[G4] OT: Questions about a Blue & White G3

[Aaron Willems]

I pick up B&W G3's all the time and upgrade them. Then sell them off to
new Mac users with low budgets. My advice is to leave it alone.  If you
can pick up 4 PC-100 256 MB chips and use your 500 MHz G4 Processor it
should be fast enough. No need to spin the wheel.
