I have a Quicksilver 733 is pretty slow since it doesn't have a L3 cache. I installed the Encore/st 1ghz in it and got a pretty good increase in speed for a few dollars ($218). I didn't want to put many $ into it… I would kinda like to get a G5, but can't afford it at this time.
Sonnet has several processor speeds, as well as, a dual processor.
