Owc Processors, Since we're talking about OWC... Options

[Dimora]

Since we're talking about OWC stuff I thought I could get peoples opinions on their processor upgrades.

I upgraded my Sawtooth 400Mhz G4 with a OWC 1Ghz Processor. I am not entirely sure I like how it handles the amount of audio running around on my computer but I don't have anything to compare it to.

Any thoughts?

OWC support an excellent site xlr8yourmac which is the reference on all the possible upgrades. Wade thru it you'll learn the pros and cons in depth.

Be very carefull to:
- the eventual uncompatibility with non OSX systems or even before OS 9 ones. Depends of the ones you need.
- the resultant bus speed
- the spec in the field you especially need. Go G4 anyway, you need Altivec.
All processor upgrades are not equals!

Also have a look at the compatibility page on Digidesign site, as they list the upgrade they know work ok for them, if it works for Protools, it'll work for you
