[QUOTE="scdobo, post: 15251"] I own a B & W G3 rev 1 which I recently installed panther on. One day I got a panic kernal after a palm hot sync via an external usb hub. After talking to apple twice and numerous attempts to recover I took it to a service place and was informed my motherboard is shot. Now I am weighing my options on how to procede. I could get a new motherboard installed for about $300 and do nothing else ( do I run the risk of taxing my machine) , in addition to the new motherboard add a G4 chip updgrade for about another $300 , pull the drives from the B & W case and purchase a G4 case with similar specs to the B & W for $650. What option would you choose? what are some of the pros or cons of the options? [/QUOTE]
