Processor upgrades... Worth it? Fast? Groovy, even?

[bofus?]

brian,

	I use the giga designs GC5A-1250-D2 running at 1.3 ghz (I 
think the closest they have now is 5-1012u) in a g4 sawtooth agp 400 
and it's been w/out a prob and blasting away for a couple years now, 
very happening and I can't recommend it enough. made a super huge 
difference, big time. worth it, fast, groovy - yes. very easy install 
and I work my machine hard but it's still totally solid! just my 
view, hope it might help.
