Mac Video Boards and CPU upgrades
I have a 2002 G4 that has a failing video board and have decided to upgrade the video board extending it's life.
Has anyone replaced their video boards in their G4s and can you give me some feedback so I can buy correctly? I use a 22" Viewsonic on a G4 Quicksilver with 1.5 GB RAM, 867 pprocessor and 120GB WD drive (7200 w 8MB) with 10.3.9. Video Board is stock from original purchase.
Video refresh (mostly using Quark) is the main problem. I am seeing lots of spinning beachballs during page makup when building plate flats. Some I have talked to said they think it is the video board needing replacment.
While we are on it, how about processor replacements? Any success stories to pass on? If I rebuild this G4 I might as well give it the once over and buy a few more year till the INTEL years arrive. I have been looking at many on eBay and wonder.
