Yeah, I realized that when I started using PCI Extreme. Even with the Rev. B Rage 128 Pro it wasn't even close to being as snappy with QE enabled.ReanimationLP said:Its the video card, unless you have the hardware DVD decoder.

Lollypop said:So am I right in assuming that most people have had success and continued stability with about a 50mhz overclock? I have 2 300Mhz B&W's, the one is currently unused, and the other is an Internet gateway/proxy and soon to be ad blocker. I don’t really need more performance... but I just cant resist…![]()

Lollypop said:I have though about it, but the only upgrade manufacturer that does G4 upgrades for a B&W is sonnet, there is only one local distributer for Sonnet, so considering the monopoly they have Im expecting a bit of a price shock! would rather upgrade the memory and HDD first before I go for a expensive processor, or even better.. would try to get that gigabit ethernet card working! LOL

YMMV, but be really careful with this. I OC'd my 400 to 450 way back in the day and had data corruption as a result. Some OC better than others, of course. Also, don't expect to OC your PCI to PCI-X (and especially not PCI-E) speeds. Sorry.
G3 1.1ghz cpu for the B&W
Where? OWC stopped selling, probably due to poor performance, and cost.
I meant an Intel Mac Mini, and changed my post. The Core Intel's smoke, despite having a crappy integrated graphics.
