Do I need to up my RAM too? Or should I content myself with 10.2.8?
Panther and up bootup faster and feel smoother than Jaguar. I'm currently
running 10.3.9 on my B&W G4/600 and it's great. I feel it more responsive
than Jag. As for RAM, going for at least 512 will make things run decently.
Second, I would like to replace or augment my CD with a DVD (not sure
what kind) so that I can burn/share family DVDs off my digital camera.
LaCie seems to have a pretty good one, but would welcome advice to cut
through the marketing hype. This site has recently offered a different
one. Do I replace the internal drive with a new one? Do I go the
external route? Are there software dimensions to be aware?
First go internal. As for the make of the drive, your best bet is to check
out http://www.xlr8yourmac.com . They have the database for all types of
drives (you can also specify which system you have as well in order to get a
more system specific outlook) and it includes user comments regarding
compatibility and problems to look out for. With Patchburn, most drives
work flawlessly in the Mac. Oh, if you are going internal make sure your
drive is bootable. I have used Yamaha and Sony CD-RW's and LG DVD writers.
I have found all to be quite compatible with my B&W. I am currently using
an LG DVD writer that I got for $99 CDN about 1 year ago. Knock on wood, it
works great.
The Pioneer DVR107 is supposed to be a goodie.
