Mac Upgrade Boards

I think all PC people thinking of getting macs should know - that these chip 
upgrades are questionable. (The 8500 listed below is about a 6 year old 
machine!). One problem is that the bus speed is not increased. And also there 
is something about the "bios" in pc-speak. I would go to Ebay and get a 
dual-G4 at least 400 - 1 gig. Then load some RAM.
