Hey Jim--did I see some photos of a GS on your smugmug gallery...or
was it Adventure Riders...?
If not, someone else using 'swisspace' I guess...
I'm also a GS rider (R80G/S Paris Dakar) and Mac & OM user. Are they
connected??? ;-)
Don't have experience with DP upgrades, but I did use Sonnet boards
to upgrade the two beige G3's at my office. Turned out it would have
been better and less expensive in the long run to just buy new boxes.
The upgrade couldn't run OS X. They did extend the life of the boxes
by another two years, until I switched to iMac G5's. IMHO the iMac
G5's are hard to beat for value vs processing power & convenience,
especially if you install 2GB RAM.
Cheers,
Rob in Seattle
