The Performance Edge: A G4
Upgrade Card For $500? It's G3 Me Now, G4 Me Later - The Price/Performance
Equation
XLR8 is
offering the following deal : buy
a MACh
Carrier G3 card for your pre-G3, PCI based PowerMac, enjoy
the performance of the G3 upgrade through the Fall, and then
in the Winter you will be given the opportunity to purchase
a G4 upgrade for as little as $500. XLR8 emphasizes that the
G4 and G3 performance is pretty similar if you are using most
current software. They believe that by January there should
be much more software available that takes advantage of the
G4's "Velocity Engine", making a G4 upgrade more attractive.
Below we explore what performance
gain you will see with these cards installed in the machines
they are made for. We also take a comparative look at the
price/performance
equation of each card.
