After all, my old Mac G4 Digital Audio is long of tooth, but otherwise a great computer. The CRT is beautiful and sharp. I would love to put Leopard on it. I slap in enough new memory to get it to 1.25 Gigs, now it's plenty. I get the I GHz Sonnet card. And it is very, very snappy. It took less than an hour to take out the old board, and snap in the new one (even though I read the wrong section of the instructions). It's pretty straight forward. The memory swap took 8 minutes. So I am all ready to try Leopard. But do I need to? Tiger runs very quickly: Word open like a shot, Safari is very snappy. In fact, after putting in the high speed card, I upgrade all the software to 4.11 (including all the Java updates, QT, etc.). I am not sure I NEED Leopard. But I do need a DVD/CD player. My version did not have the SuperDrive. Does this ever end? It is great as a supplementary work computer for home. I can quickly get to my office computer over the web and download anything I might have forgotten. It's the only Mac I have that still runs OS 9, so I need it to open very old documents -- at least I think so. I think it was worth the $150+ for the Accelerator. I probably have extended its useful life another couple of years. I'll update after the SuperDrive is installed. But do I still need Leopard? 5 Today easy install works fine I needed an inexpensive upgrade to use/try out iLife '06 (700Mhz min). The upgrade CPU was easy to install (good directions) and works fine. 1hz was adequate for Garageband. 5 Today Nice bump in speed Our Digital Audio 533 G4 was beginning to feel a little pokey, so I was interested in at least a 1GHz G4 card. I opted for this slowest of the faster G4 cards because I don't expect to keep this machine more than maybe two years, and the price of this card was the best I found. I read thru the installation instructions, which are tailored to the various versions of the G4 tower. Reading these really helped, because I was able to complete the switchover in less than ten minutes. The new processor card worked immediately on startup. I'm running Mac OS X 10.3.9. The speed increase is subtle but noticeable. Online videos are smoother, pages load more quickly, and windows on the computer open and close more quickly. This was a good choice. We got some added speed while keeping our PCI slots, something a new iMac or Mini don't offer. Not as fast as those newer machines, but more versatile for our purposes. 5 Today Mis-leading description of product I searched in Amazon for a 1.4 GHz processor upgrade. The Amazon search engine gave me the page for this product, which I purchased. Unfortunately, it was a 1 GHz processor, which was slower than I thought I was purchasing. Amazon displayed a mis-leading description of the product, so I am very disappointed. The Sonnet accelerator product was fine, just slower than I wanted. I would hestitate about purchasing products from Amazon in the future, as it appears they mis-lead consumers so that they can dump discontinued products. 3 Today Great, except for the instructions. One little secret about OS X is that all the cool looking stuff it does slows things to a crawl on machines in the 400-500 range. This surprised me because I had one drive with OS X and one with OS 9. OS 9 was very snappy on my G4/400 but OS X was spinning ball hell. This upgrade made a dramatic improvement and for under $200 you get a machine that is at least capable of running GarageBand, handling big Photoshop files, etc. Its hard to guage the speed but I'd say everything's faster but nothing's instant. The installation should be foolproof but due to unclear instructions, not quite. Here's the deal. Sonnet used to ship these boards without a heat sink. They provided directions for salvaging the Mac's existing heat sink and reusing it. Apparently, not all Mac users are up on their thermodynamics and they failed to properly re-mount the heat sink causing the card to fail. The good news is, the card I received had both a heat sink and a fan. The bad news is that the instructions show the older setup with detailed instructions as to how to swap out the heat sink. Also incorrect is the mention that you need a medium Phillips screwdriver. You need a fairly small Phillips because the screwdriver has to pass through holes drilled in the included heat sink and an "average" Phillips screwdriver will be too fat. Finally, with most machines you'll need to download a firmware update so your Mac will recognize the new card. But since you do this before you install the card, you're left wondering what will happen when you have the new firmware but have yet to install the new card. Will the machine restart? (Yes) Do you need to swap proccesors before restarting? (No). The bottom line is, this is a nice upgrade and simple to accomplish. But decent instructions would take a lot of the anxiety out of it. 4 Today A must-have if your CPU is under 600MHz I have a 400MHz G4 that was tolerable until I upgrade to OS X 10.3. Even though I have 1GB of RAM, everything was just really slow. Appliations would take forever to load, and most operations would stall for a couple seconds. This CPU upgrade fixed all that. I would say that my computer is about twice as fast now. Not only that, but I had videos that wouldn't even play at all, and now they work fine. A definite improvement. Considering how inexpensive this particular CPU upgrade is (1GHz is the bottom-of-the-line for G4 CPU upgrades), I consider it a must-have for anything with a CPU that's currently under 600MHz, especially if you're running OS X. The one thing I can't tell you is whether you should spend the extra money to get one of the higher-end CPU upgrades. Besides the 1GHz model, Sonnet also offers 1.2GHz (ASIN B000083K9N), 1.4GHz (ASIN B0000AZJYC), and 1.7GHz (ASIN B0006ZM4ZI). You get less bang-for-the-buck the higher you go; however, the lower speeds may just not be fast enough for you. My only suggestion is to get a CPU that's more than twice as fast as what you have now. If your CPU is currently 800MHz, you're probably not going to notice a difference at 1GHz, so buying this model would be a waste of money. 5 Today Almost as good as a new machine My G4 Sawtooth (year 2000) now flyes, the difference in speed is really big and the installation process took me less than 10 minutes, no problems, just plug and play! This upgrade is the best investment that I have done to my Mac and for the price is a great deal. Since I installed the upgrade I keep just using it instead of my 2,4 ghz.
