I have a Blue & White Revison 2 PowerMac. A few weeks ago I bought a MachSpeed G4 466mhz zif card from you off of Ebay. The card works great. I have been running it overclocked to the maximum the speed utility will allow me to set. The processor is running at 548 MHZ and the backside cache is running at 274.3. The temperature runs between 56-60 degrees.
Now my question is how much inprovement would I see if I jumped to the G4 600 mhz and overclocked it? Or would I be better off going with a higher Mhz G3 or the Sonnet G4 upgrade you offer?
This computer isn't my primary computer, I'm using it to play around with OS X and use Unix/BSD. I will not rip cds or use photoshop or anything like that.
Thanks for your time!

Well, it probably won't last at 600 MHz, then you'll need to drop it back down. the Sonnet G4 is pretty fast. About 20% faster thant the 600 MHz XLR8 G4 (which can run 650 MHz in some systems).

Hi, I just wanted to follow up, these months later, to say that this product works amazing! I have never exceeded the 60 degree mark nor had a single crash since I installed this upgrade. I am still running it overclocked in the same manner described above.
I couldn't be more happy with this product. I would not hesitate to recommend Daystar to anyone.
