Oh yea of course, the odds are 50/50 if you get a stable machine and they tend to be quirky. My 7200 which I upgraded to a G4 freezes randomly and this machine will freeze during a very large network transfer. (That is probably due to bad memory though) But the machines are good transitions if you don't want to spend a small fortune on a new machine.Not to mention it's a good hobby. :-D CJ On Wednesday, July 16, 2003, at 06:41 PM, sr ferenczy wrote: > im not questioning that at all. i just know from experience (7200, > 8500, 9600, beigeG3) that upgraded machine can be very hit or miss > with hardware upgrades. > > sandor > > On Wednesday, July 16, 2003, at 01:55 PM, CJ Scaminaci wrote: > >> IWith the right upgrades Apple machines can be better than new. >> >
