I'd love it but it's just too expensive for me. Good luck on the auction, Dan!

Why exactly do these upgrade chips go for so much? I see true blue PowerBook G3s going for less (I once bought a G3 Wallstreet for $70 with shipping). Is the demand to keep the Pre G3 machines alive and well really this high?

I'd love to give my 1400c an upgrade but for the price, it's overkill.

A lot of people would rather have a G3-upgraded 1400 than an actual G3.  Mostly because of the keyboard.  The PowerBook 1400 has a near cult following.

People buy things they want.  Theres plenty of G3 Wallstreets on the market.  There are very few 466mhz PowerBook 1400s.

I have a 333 G3 sonnet, I got it for fun as well as making the machine more usable. It was worth it I can run 7.6.1 and up with a lot of speed. Everything is quicker, especially photoshop. I have always loved my 1400 and to make it usable with out spending a lot of money, $200 rebuilt it. It's easy and simple and 7.6 screams. I recommend it.   jhall how's the upgrade?

The upgrade is great. I bought a powerbook 1400c with a 117mhz processor. I can tell a big difference. The only problem is that the cd drive does not work. I don't have a 7.6.1 cd. I was thinking of buying a powerbook 1400cs with 7.6.1 already installed and copying the startup disk  with a pcmcia adapter to compact flash.
