“Ecamm Network has released PowerBoost, a new shareware add-on for iChat AV 3 that makes multi-party conferences possible from any Mac. Apple’s website says that iChat AV 3 by default requires a dual 1GHz G4 machine or any G5-based Mac to initiate a 4-person video conference and either a 1GHz G4-, dual 800GHz G4-, or G5-based Mac to participate in a multi-party video conference. PowerBoost allows users to use any G4-based Mac to both participate in and initiate multi-party video conferences,” MacNN reports. “PowerBoost is available as a seven-day demo. Registration is $8.”

I wish I had another three friends with iChat AV to try this out on my G4. If performance is reasonable why did Apple not allow iChat AV on G4s to do this in the first place?
Sam,
I agree — their programs are very useful. I can’t wait to try out “PowerBoost.”
