The Mac upgrade card folks will gladly sell you a 1 Ghz G4 upgrade card to go in your 40mhz bus 9500, so why wouldn't they sell you a 1.8 Ghz PPC970 card to go in your 133mhz bus G4 Tower?

I think upgrade cards are a rip off anyway. If you want a PPC970. You'll be much better off buying a new system or waiting a year and picking one up used.
Why the hell would anyone want to sell their house, wife and car to get the money to afford a G4-like performing PPC970 upgrade card, that would cost at least 4 times what it's worth in performance?
Hey, there are many people who would exchange their wives for PPC970 upgrade card.

The offical line from Sonnet is that there is a heat problem - it's bullshit, just like their justification of selling overclocked processors.
