Is it safe to upgrade my g4/800...so i get twice...or maybe even three times the power I have now ?
Anyone got experience with upgrading the processor ? Witch brand is the best...and most important....will all programs work flawlessly ? |

there are some cards out the that work rather well, but bus speed is the main thing, Thats way a 800mhz mac will bet a 1.5 Ghz PC simply the bus speed. also look at the computer and the cost of the upgrade. I think you can get a 1.25Ghz upgrade for $750 us, you mac would sell second hand for $1000 US aprox. so thats around $1750, about the price of a 2 Ghz G5, And the resale value of the card will not be the same you will end up losing a bunch of money when you finally sell you mac with the card.
