[QUOTE="baggss, post: 329882, member: 6762"] I did this for my old 400Mhz Sawtooth G4. It got me an extra 2.5 years of life out of it. I went to a 1.3Ghz processor, ATI 9200 Graphics card, PCI ATA card and maxed out the RAM. It worked well, for a while. The ultimate killer was the 100MHZ system bus. In the end, no amount of upgrading was going to speed that up. [/QUOTE]
