[QUOTE="irectus12, post: 813931, member: 90214"] I'm looking to upgrade my G4 quicksilver's processor. I understand it can be somewhat of a costly upgrade and am willing to put the money into it. My first choice was going to be NewerTechnologies' dual 1.8ghz 7448 processor, but found out they discontinued those a few months back. So I now have to decide between Sonnettech's dual 1.6ghz 7447A processor (if i can even find 1 for sale) or NewerTech's 2.0ghz 7448 processor. I understand 7448 processors can range up to "40% faster and cooler" -quoted from newertech's site,than 7447's. My question is which will be faster and stronger (multiple programs running)? Ideally i'd like to think i can run GarageBand/Apple logic studio/final cut studio/and HD movies, not all at the same time. My current specs are: Mac OS X 10.5.6 800Mhz overclocked quicksilver 2001 1.5GB Ram 256MB GeForce 7800GS 540GB Maxtor HD Pioneer DVD-RW [/QUOTE]
