Hi.  I might acquire a G4 Gigabit ethernet from work that's been  
sitting around for a while.  I've troubleshot the thing and  
determined it to be a bad mobo or a bad power supply, but after  
talking to two Apple techs they said it was the mobo.  Looking at the  
power supply connector, I've noticed that on my own Digital audio  
there's a 22 point connector, whereas on the Gigabit ethernet it is a  
20-point connector.  Now I've also checked the specs from the  
lowendmac.com page.  Aside from an extra PCI slot (I have two free in  
my DA anyway) and a 33mhx bus speed increase, would there be any  
benefits from going ot a Digital Audio mobo instead of a Gigabit  
ethernet, even if I planned to add a processor upgrade in the  
future?  I appreciate all your help.

Eric
