there are a number of processor upgrades on the market. I understand that pci type accelerators are ill advised for audio processing, but what about the ones where you swap it for your old processor. does anyone on the forum have any experience of using say sonnet st g4 upgrades? this is going tto be the only way to improve my digioo1 system on powermac g4agp400 on my budget with a mortgage to pay and a baby due in may.
thank you |

I installed the 1 Ghz Sonnet in my 450 Mhz AGP graphics G4. I couldn't install a dual processor ugrade because the ASIC was too old.
It was quite easy to install and has been running for a year. I've also put in 1 gig of RAM, two 120 gig hard drives and a Radeon 8500 video card. According to comparisons done with Xbench, it is now the equivalent of a dual 836 Quicksilver and compares favorably with some of the single processor MDD models. |
