[G4] G4-400 AGP upgrade options

[Michael L. Brown]

Chris, I bought one when they first came out, along with a ATI Radeon 
8500, and have not been sorry. I have had two years of rock solid 
operation at a little over twice the original performance. Combined 
additional fan noise is noticeable, but nothing like that which 
plagued later G4s. If I were going to purchase a cache card for a 
G4-400, now, I would probably add a $100 and buy an OWC Mercury 
Extreme G4/1.25-1.4GHz 2MB SDR L3 Processor Upgrade. Suggest you read 
some of the user feedback on the various accelerator cards at

Almost never pointless.
