Okay, I'm (almost) ready to take the plunge into X. I've found, read and continue to follow everyone that has upgraded to OS X - making note of any issues; but I'm still nervous that I'll miss something and end up with an unusable machine.
My machine: Stock Rev. 2 B&W 128 meg RAM 6gig HD Internal GV 56K modem Rage ATI 128 video card 32x CD-ROM and Zip drive What I know: 1. I should ideally max out the RAM 2. Get a much larger hard drive 3. Get at least a DVD-ROM/CD-R drive Should I: 1. Settle for a 40 gig HD? 2. Consider a processor upgrade? 3. Upgrade the video card? 4. Use a DVD-ROM that doesn't ship with Mac software (people have done it but...; and is there a performance difference between internal and external drives? 5. Use the 2 available PCI slots for...? I'm thinking a FW/USB combo card and maybe a TV tuner. Thanks, Nicole __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
