Hi everyone. Sorry if this is a repeat question from someone else but I didnt have much luck finding what I was looking for. So here it is.
I just bought a blue and white mac G3 300 for $60. I upgraded it to 512mb of ram along with a new ATI pci Radeon 7000 64mb video card. The video card helped alot with Unreal and Quake 3 but Diablo 2 still lags hard. During game play it is jumpy just to walk around and it really slows down when the action picks up. While it doesnt make sense that Quake 3 runs so smooth and Diable 2 doesnt here is my question. Would a CPU upgrade help? I went to fastmac.com and sonnettech.com and looked around. Seems like upgrading to a G4 is a must and the biggest mhz should be goal I know. But just between those two companys there is a big price differnce. You get more mhz for your buck from sonnet. So if someone who has some knowledge in this area good lend some advice. Maybe there is a company out there I dont even know about or list. Thanks for your time. Sorry for the long post buy I am new to the mac world and this all seems weird.
