[G4] Upgrade options ?

[James Pacyga]

If you are curious about processor upgrade cards, check out the 
compatibility database on http://www.xlr8yourmac.com

As for the modem, you can check under the "AppleMenu->About This 
Mac->More Info (button in About panel)" - this will launch Profiler 
(assuming you are running a recent OS X).

In profiler, select Hardware->Modems from the side nav.  If you have 
one, it will detail its type.

As for 802.11 cards.  I dropped my Airport 11b card in my G4/500 for a 
Sonnet 802.11g Aria Extreme.  It works flawlessly (actually better than 
the airport card - no interference to the USB ports when transferring 
data).  It is also pretty good and fast.  From my LAN, I can transfer 
300Mb in about 3 minutes (v. about 12-13 for airport card).
