| Mac 802.11n page updated (more Airport Extreme N user's comments) |
I've added more Apple Airport Extreme 802.11n base user's comments to the Mac 802.11n page. One owner using it with Macs and PCs (802.11g equipped) wanted it for file and printer sharing and noted using a WD Media Center 250GB drive connected to the base and another used a WD MyDisk. (He noted problems restarting his Macbook with the drive shared/mounted.) The page also includes previous notes/tests/tips on 802.11n adapters/card swaps, benchmarking AE USB drives, non-Apple N bases/routers and more.

| Rate Your Mac CPU Upgrade Reports Database Updated |
| The Rate Your CPU Upgrade database has been updated with 2 new reports today. Total to date: 10,306. Here's a summary of the latest addition (search database by upgrade brand, mac model, etc. for a complete list/comments of all user reports on matching criteria - latest reports first).
- Apple OEM G4/533 (at 600MHz) in (Gigabit Ethernet) G4/AGP tower (rated 10)
(Module was from a Digital Audio G4/466MHz but CPU chip was 533MHz rated/marked. mods to resistors/bus multiplier done before swap)
- Newer Tech G4 Dual 1.7GHz (7448) in (Quicksilver 733) G4/AGP tower
(Positive report but didn't include an overall 1-10 rating)
(Full reviews of G4 and G3 upgrades compared to stock CPUs, including real world apps/game tests, install info, etc. are linked at the G4 upgrade reviews and G3 upgrade reviews pages. OC/CPU module articles are on the Systems page.)
You can find the full reports by searching the database selecting the indicated Mac model and upgrade card brand/type. If you've upgraded the CPU on your Mac, send a review with your experience (performance/stability/installation, etc.), Mac Model/Upgrade brand info and overall rating (1= worst to 10=best). Search the database for entries from most every upgradable Mac model *before* you buy. (Searchable by mac model/upgrade brand).
