[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1139176, member: 56379"] I understand that many times computer items in Canada can be more expensive. We've had this conversation before (in a different thread)...but the same topic of upgrading this Powermac G4. And in that thread I linked an e-Bay auction from [u]e-Bay Canada[/u] for a Powermac G5 that was less expensive than what you're talking about spending to upgrade this Powermac G4. So to help out again...here's another e-Bay auction from [u]e-Bay Canada[/u] for a Powermac G5...dual 1.8ghz processors, 2 gig of ram, 300 gig hard drive, decent video card. "Buy It Now" price of $251.17 + $80 shipping = $331.17 (Canadian Dollars) shipped!!!:) [url]http://cgi.ebay.ca/Apple-PowerMac-G5-DUAL-1-8GHz-2GB-300GB-GF5200-OSX-10-5-/110610101283?pt=Apple_Desktops&hash=item19c0e03423#ht_4421wt_1141[/url] Still almost $70 less than that $400 cpu upgrade you're talking about...and I won't even bring up what you paid for the 9800 video card!;) Don't get me wrong. I have nothing against playing around & using a Powermac G4...but you just got to know when to say "enough is enough" when it comes to spending $$$ on upgrades...especially when the upgrade money EXCEEDS the cost of getting a much better computer (a dual processor Powermac G5 in this case). I'm really just trying to help,:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
