I'm considering upgrading my G4 Quicksilver 800mhz dual processor, for editing film with Final Cut-pro HD. Anyone who has had previous experience in similar situation wants to give me some feedback on any of these OWC products?

Any suggestions?

I'm in the same boat with a single 733qs

here's what i read today at macbytes:

In related news, the latest unofficial reports regarding PowerLogix indicate that Dual G4/1.2-1.4GHz 7457 with 4MB of L3 cache upgrades for the Cube are expected to ship sometime before the end of the year. I'd call that a new performance standard for Cube!

I'm hearing "proprietary VRM bypass", so power will in no way be an issue for these. Furthermore, a single G4/7457 @ 1.4GHz with 512K L2 1:1 and 2MB L3 is comparable in performance to a single G4/7447 @ 1.7GHz - which has only the 512K L2 cache an no L3.

Look for Dual pricing in the $599 range - a nice performance boost for not much more cash. Single G4 7457 @ 1.4GHz should be around $399 - which will give the same performance as the Sonnet G4/7447 @ 1.7GHz, but for 20% less.

so if you can wait the powerlogix looks great... I've been waiting for three+ months and counting...

Powerlogix?

Their products maybe good but their service is sucks.
I used the upgrade card for 1 year and failed. Then I returned it and they admitted it was diffective under warranty.

I've been waiting for replacement almost 2 years and never received the replacement. They don't respond to my calls or emails.

They need money to warrant their products. see below.

BTW, I'm a very happy user of Sonnet now. If you could find identical card from Sonnet, pick that one.

Sonnet and Powerlogix both make decent products. I have had nothing but good experience with OWC products.
Beware, upgrading the cpu on a Quicksilver is one huge pain in the ass. The metal "ties" that secure the processor to the logic board are a bitch to get off and 1 little slip (because they take a great deal of effort to remove and one side is very difficult to get at) with your screwdriver and you need a new logic board. Go slow and be very careful.
