Hi all
Advice needed
This is my problem
I have just got a G4 533 digital audio with 1.25gb ram 30gb and 20gb
hdd cdrw running 10.4.3 with airport This was to replace my G4 400
agp with 1gb ram same hdds airport and cdrw, but on inspection there
is only 3 ram slots in the 533 so if i keep the 400 and just swap the
ram around i could have a 400 with 50gb hdd space 1.75gb ram airport
and cdrw.
what would be the best idea??
any advice taken as i want to ebay the unused system tonight.
I would stick with the DA 533 over a sawtooth 400 with no questions
asked. The DA has a faster video slot 4x agp vs 2x, and a faster
motherboard speed, 133MHz vs 100MHz.
You can take the DA up to 1.5G ram with 3 512 sticks. Unless you are
doing very heavy photoshop work where the images will not fit into the
1.25G of ram, but will fit in the 1.75G, the DA will be significantly
faster day to day, even with slightly less ram. Also, should you
upgrade to 10.4, the DA supports video cards that support core image,
whereas, iirc, there are no 2x agp cards that do.
HTH,
