Does anyone here have any experience with either of these companies G4 upgrade cards.
I purchased a OWC 1.4/1.46Gz card for my Quicksilver 2002 933Mhz and I've had trouble with the 1.467 Ghz setting, not the 1.4 Ghz setting just the 1.467 Ghz setting being reliable.
Aren't the board on the 2002 series slightly different the the older models?

The OWC is faster, it has faster L3 DDR.

I've been thinking of either upgrading my DP800 to Sonnet's 1.4 upgrade.

Would I be better off just leaving it as a Dual 800 or would I see better performance from 1.4 upgrade (everything else is upgraded 1.5gb RAM, 7200 RPM hard drives)

Or should I just get rid of the DP800 and buy the G5?

Despite very extensive troubleshooting of this card with a lot of good help from Giga, I was never able to get this card to even boot a 733 DA (pre-quicksilver Mac) at any speed with 10.2.6. I sold it to a friend with a 450 Sawtooth where it has worked like a champion for 3 weeks so far at 1.467 GHz.
