Update your Pegasos II G3/600 to a Pegasos II G4/1GHz : Comment 17 of 28ANN.lu

In reply to Comment 15 (Neko):
Simply because if you bought a Peggy with an used G3 module for let's say 250€ VAT Included and you tried to take advantage of Vesalia's offer you would get a G4 for less than the price of a new G4 and you still would have a first-hand G4 module and a first hand motherboard for less than 500€ vat included.

That wouldn't be fair with customers who paid for an entirely new Pegasos G4.

I think that it may be ok to make an offer upgrade when faster G4s become available and people with a 1Ghz G4 starts to upgrade to a 1.4 or 1.5 Ghz G4.


IMHO no new G3/600 modules should be produced and these machines with G3/600 should use the exchanged cpu modules. New G3 should be at least 800Mhz so users who buy a new system will have something more to win and it will be more attractive to users.

So people short of money will be able to get a cheaper Peggy, Genesi gets rid of older G3s and starts to sell faster G3 systems, more attractive to new users.

YES, I know that 600Mhz is more than enough for MOS, but lots of people want to run MOL with MacOS X, Linux, or simply think that 600Mhz is too slow for a computer bought in the year 2004.

Genesi buying more G3/600 is like digging their own grave... unless the get these new cpus cheaper and they make prices lower.

The idea of giving the option to the buyer of using a second hand G3 and buy the computer for less money will probably attract more users and Genesi won't have to spend money creating new CPU modules
