If not why not & what should I be looking for? It is very tempting to buy a G4 upgrade from OWC for £500 shaktiman Quadra 840av, prettymuchmaxedout8xcd drive os 8.1 128 meg ram, 500 meg hard drive PPC7600/132, 4.23Gig & 500 Meg drives, 8X cd os 8.6 Performa400(deadintheattick) 3 monitors 15" & 14" & 14"

You need a daughtercard upgrade that looks similar to the one that shipped with your PowerMac. As for the ones at OWC, are you talking about the new Sonnet G4/800 or G4/1 Ghz ones? -------------------------- Give your dreams a chance.™ - Apple in the mid '90s Warrior maclover5 68k Macintosh Liberation Army Number of 68ks Liberated: 7 Number of Contraband (PPC) Liberated from the Dumpster: 1

Carrier cards and Zifs are the way to go Carrier cards are down to about 50 USD A G3 233 can be had for about 10 USD Total cost 60 USD, you can swap in a newer ZIF later and sell the old one. Carrier cards allow for easy (simple as flipping switches) overclocking. -------- LC 2, LC 3, Q605, Perf 638, Colour Classic (160 603e) 6100, 7200, PTP 225 (Quad 604), PM 9600, G4 Cube
