![]() I was also concerned with a slow down but I don't really notice any speed difference between 10.4 and 10.5 on my 867MHz G4. As fast as Tiger for the most part but my 64MB GeForce video card still lacks Core Image and I'm sure it would do better with a Core Image supported card. I have an 867MHz Quicksilver and it runs Leopard fine. You should get a Core Image supported video card if you plan on running Leopard but you can get by without it. Not to mention better graphics on the later G4's. I have used several Sonnets products over the years and never had a single problem, unlike several other brands such as Powerlogix.īut G4's are getting cheap on eBay and you may find a comparable speed G4 with a faster bus for about the same price as an upgrade. Just a cheaper option in case you're interested. ![]() With a 466mhz, the extra bounce is very noticeable, but I don't know that you'd see that much from a 733mhz. I'm working on my fifth transplant now, and it's easy, but I had to stare at the first one for a while to get it clear in my mind just how it would be accomplished. You will need to install the cooling fan and shroud from the Q.S. (single wire) connexion to the "fourth post" of the CPU and a two wire connexion to the cooling fan. If your new prize is a Digital Audio, you may also install an 867 (or 933) mhz CPU, but you will have to jury-rig a 12v. Beware the "NEW 933mhz" from Hong Kong it's an overclocked 733, and lacks the 元 cache. $50 the 933mhz is harder to find and might run closer to $75. If you have a Quicksilver, it should be virtually plug 'n' play you might even be able to install a dual 1Ghz CPU (I think your QS will recognise the 元 cache, but I haven't done it myself so get a confirming opinion). If you want, you can upgrade to an 867 (or 933) mhz CPU from Apple. Which one of these processor upgrades would you recommend? I think the stock video card is still able to utilize Quartz Extreme. Also, would it be a good idea to add a video card upgrade with it as well? I only have a 15" HP LCD that isn't really capable of that high of resolution and I don't play video games so I don't really think there would be a huge advantage to an upgraded video card unless it would actually help the performance. I am afraid that if I do put 10.5 on it it would make it really doggy even with the processor upgrade. Also, with the processor upgrade would 10.5 run comparable to 10.4? 10.4 seems to run nicely on it and doesn't seem to lag. So, I am wondering would it be worth it to get a processor upgrade? Or, would the 133MHz system bus and other limitations of the older system not make it worth it. I know I need to get a processor upgrade in order to do so. I've really liked it, but I was thinking I would like to put 10.5 on it. I recently purchased a Powermac G4 733Mhz.
