To the best of my knowledge, the drivers shipped by Sonnet & XLR8 work just fine, and MacOS X works as well on their upgrade cards as it does on the Apple original G3 & G4 hardware. > I've seen G4 400 towers selling for under $1000 refurbished.

A G4 tower or a B&W G3 shouldn't need any kind of CPU upgrade in order to run MacOS X. You might need more RAM, or a compatible video card, and you might *want* a faster CPU, but that shouldn't be necessary. -- Brad Knowles, /* efdtt.c Author: Charles M.
