[QUOTE="harryb2448, post: 705531, member: 42497"] Yes Quicksilvers have 133MHz system bus speed compared to the Sawtooth 100MHz, but also faster AGP slots for better graphics etc etc. Depends on the bucks available I guess. Have used a Mercury Extreme 1.3GHz CPU upgrade from OWC with great success in a Gigabit Ethernet machine, model after your Sawtooth. Ran Leopard fast and rock solid,. The beauty of that CPU upgrade is that it has jumper on it to work with either 100/133MHz system bus speeds, and the 2MB L3 Cache makes them fly. If money is not that much of a problem and you wish to stay with a G4, look out for a FW800 1.42/1.25 Dual Processors. The FW800 were the last G4's made and are fast. [/QUOTE]
