[G4] New Video Card, Processor, both, neither?

[Harry Freeman]

Greetings Steve ( + )!( + )

I've got a Power Mac G4 (AGP graphics) which started life as a 350 Mhz  
and when I added the following processor I was truly amazed. You might  
want to think about this type of up-grade.

Graphics/Sawtooth Gig E

Sub-Total: 			$167.50
Tax: 				$0.00
Shipping: 			$7.95
Shipping Insurance: 	$0.50

Grand-Total: 			$175.95
