Hi all on this board. Just getting a feel for this one with my first post.
I want to ask an opinion of you, one that is a bit of a departure from rumors (or maybe not)-
I have a 466mhz G4, Radeon 32mb DDR card, 640mb RAM, and plenty of HD space. Rather than buy a brand new G4 when they come out, or probably G5s at the rate I'm saving, I thought I'd spring for an upgrade card, seeing as I've done so in the past with good results.
For 700 bucks, I can get a Sonnet 1 Gig G4 card (not ZIF), and a 9700 Radeon Card for 400 bucks. With a bill of 1100 dollars, I think it would be a good compromise for my budget compared to buying a new computer.
However, has anyone heard anything about any even MORE recent G4 upgrade cards, and maybe I should hold off for a bit? Should I go ahead with the GPU upgrade and wait for the G4?
Opinions are welcome.
