[G4] Replacement mobo in G4 Gigabit Ethernet

[Richard Ramsowr]

Eric

Bus speed is what it's all about these days - 133 MHz
does make a big difference and the closer you are to a
QucikSilver or MDD the better off your going to be in
the one run. Every time Apple release a new OS X
something has to give and one of the factor of how  OS
X runs on a older Mac is itÕs bus speed. If I was you
I would look at all three of the Mac that offer a 133
MHz bus and get the thatÕs one highest up the food
chain and the one you can afford. I for one have a
Quicksilver and i have little or no problems with
upgrades or OS X functions - besides I think it looks
a lot better then the MDD and itÕs a lot quieter too.

Just my 2 cents worth...
