Hi,
I'm still running OS 9.2.2 on a Sawtooth 450 but will likely begin in the OSX world before long. This Mac is used for a fair amount of Photoshop web work, so it's not like I'm chewing through huge files. Also GoLive gets used to maintain several websites.
Awhile back I came into possession of 2 additional and identical Sawtooth models. I was going to move them on eBay... but I have to say I REALLY like the security of having at least one back-up machine for my work. With these 2 back-ups machines... I feel near invincible... LOL.
My Question:
I was looking into buying an OWC accelerator for one of these back-up Sawtooth Macs and migrating slowly to OSX. I'm now looking into the possibility of moving all my Sawtooth models and getting a pair of Quicksilvers at 867MHz.
I believe the Quicksilvers has the faster bus and better graphics card... and they are cheap enough on eBay to allow me my all important back-up machine.
Does this sound like an reasonable move, or would just getting the OWC accelerator for the current Sawtooth produce similar results for me.
Thanks in advance for any input.
John
