[G4] Prepping for the next OS X (10.5)

[nagable at comcast.net]

For what it's worth (and it's expensive), I upgraded my QS2002 (800MHz) with a Sonnet Dual 1.8 GHz processor.  I had to boot into OS9 to do the software (firmware?) install, but it gave the machine a super speed boost.  It's pricey ($600 from Other World Computing), but I like to keep things that still work.  Lately I lost a hard drive and added a SATA PCI card and 750GB SATA hard drive which I broke up into 4 partitions. It runs even faster now.  The RAM is maxed out at 1.5GB.  I'm just wondering how much longer it will be supported by Apple...

I'm still using the stock video card.
