That mac would make a fine Slimserver. Upgrading the ram is a good idea, but I don't think adding an external USB2 disk would be that great an idea. With a machine of that age, you're better off replacing the internal disk with a more modern drive.. simply to improve system speed and reliability. -- SuperQ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SuperQ's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2139 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=37278 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
