Re:What's the best G4 PowerMac 4 me? - 2009/10/15 01:39 Good deal !

I always liked the Quicksilver design over any other Mac tower and I had an 800MHz QS a couple years ago. Solid machine but the lack of L3 and small L2 cache kinda hobbles it.

A couple things you can do though. Replace the CPU with a 933Mhz or DP 1GHz CPU. Or overclock the 800 to 867 and squeeze a little more power out of it.

Overclocking the 800 QS is pretty easy with an automotive window defrost repair kit:
