i have a sawtooth with a giga 2ghz g4, 896 ram, 40+20gig hds, and a radeon 9000pro. wondering if it would be with to get a motherboard from a digital audio and swap. i know they have a 4x agp slot and a faster bus. would it be smarter to do that or just spend more money on upgrading the sawtooth?

No swap is possible... you wouldn't be able to close the case. Nothing would mount or line up either, like the PCI slots.

I think I'd just rather pick up cheap 733mhz Quicksilver or something.

If you're asking if you could take all of the upgrades you've bought for your Sawtooth and put them into a Digital Audio, yes you could. Your RAM needs to be PC-133 to work in the Digital Audio though because of it's faster bus.

basically id like to know would the gain from the faster bus and agp slot be worth the money to buy one or to just stick with the sawtooth and keep upgrading it
