[QUOTE="Audio.Trench, post: 286689, member: 13155"] It's a 400mhz AGP Sawtooth... 100mhz System Bus.. Here's my upgrade list (I actually started a fundraiser to pay for this): 4 x 512mb PC100 - ~$65 USD each. (dang stuff is hard to find cheap! DDR is half the price!) 1 x dual 1.6ghz G4 CPU card - ~$450 USD (MacSales.com) 1 x 128mb ATI Radeon 9800 Pro - ~$70 USD (eBay) I've been putting a custom RAZR Portfolio I wanted to send to Motorola (even though it'll most likely get shot down), and using my TiBook is getting sluggish (dealing with super-high res images [stuff like 2524x4432]). Judging from the benchmarks on MacSales.com, the performace quadruples overall. They don't give too much info on whether or not the system was stock (so I assumed it was). And stock on my G4 is 128mb RAM and a 16mb ATI Rage Pro 128. Given with 2gb of ram, dual 1.6ghz cpu's and a 128mb 9800 Pro, this thing will fly compared to it now, and my TiBook. I'm really looking forward to this project, and am trying to get a video camera to tape the whole thing. Feel free to donate me cash! Anythign is appreciated! lol.. I'm aiming to raise $1200 CDN for this project. :) [/QUOTE]
