Hi -- AM thinking of upgrading a 400 MZ gigabit ethernet machine and am wondering if any one has any thoughts/feelings/experiences for Sonnet vs. Other World Computing.

Any processor upgrade card better than another. Any experiences with Panther?

Avoid Sonnet. Consider GigaDesigns instead.

Sonnet = no overclocking possible

You might consider them if they offer a good price, but OWC and Gigadesigns both provide a means for easily overclocking the processor.
