    My Sonnet G4 1GHz upgrade arrived today. Yayyyy :-)

    I have some questions please.

    1: Is it there another way to upgrade my Power Macs bootroom without having to install crappy OS 9.2 ?

    2: In OS X with the current 466MHz G4, Youtube is really choppy unless i set it to 240P. Will (less than 720P) videos on youtube run perfectly now?

    3: Will i get full speed with ALL games in E-UAE in MorphOS?

    [I know i will have the answers to questions 2 and 3 once the upgrade is installed, but i am curious]

    Regards

    Chris

    @Dougal:

    1. Yes, install OS 9.1 ;-) But seriously, you have to install OS9.x . There's no possibility to update the bootrom without it. I had the same problem...

    2. Depends on. If you use HTML5, maybe video playback is better in Fullscreen (which uses HW overlay).

    3. I think ECS games should run in fullspeed (with HW overlay display). AGA games could need a frameskip.

    360p should run okay now.

    No.
