I did find some prices for an upgrade and it was outrageous!! $500 some odd dollars to take me to a 603 75 MHz! I think a rev B would be a much better choice. Thanks.

Or, just get an older powermac and upgrade it to a G3. ------------------ People aren't as dumb as you think. Wait, what was I thinking, 90% of the world uses WINDOWS! You don't…
