I was just saying that I couldn't really see why you would get one of these when the G4 Zif would probably be a better option overall. The whole G3/G4 thing is just that my G3 feels so blazingly fast that I can't see the point in G4s really (unless you're doing really heavy-duty stuff on your Mac), especially considering that they typically cost money to acquire whereas G3s are free these days, and it greatly irritates me that Apple realise this and so have decided to forcibly make newer Macs have a point by deliberately engineering their recent software to not run at all on G3s. I don't hate the G4 CPU, I would definitely give my G3 a G4 brain if they weren't crazy prices, I just wouldn't buy a G4 machine and the G3 series machines are my favourites anyway, they are all such classic designs.Post #4 by The Macster
