I'm pretty excited. I get a kick out of upgrading old gear and making it useful. It helps me with Gearlust when I can't afford whatever's on the front of Apple.com. (I don't visit there very often just for that reason!)
The plan, albeit ill-informed, is to use a Beige G3 for editing video. I bought it with 256Mb RAM, Personality card, CD ROM and 4Gb HD. I swapped the HD for a 10Gb one, partitioned it in half and reinstalled 9.1. I have Jaguar on it's way, so that will be my next upgrade. Then I'm planning on using iMovie for editing.
Obviously, I'll need more RAM, so I'll keep my eye on eBay. I'm sure I could use more VRAM too.
Does anyone have any suggestions - video cards, firewire cards, things like that? Is the personality card all I need, since it has s-video in/out ?
Anyone else using G3s for video editing?
