This processor had three pieces to it,a vent looking thing,a processor
"board" and one other.The ad said the Hs was included,whatever that is.I am
hoping the thermal processor is one of the three items.I felt the price was
reasonable so I took a chance.The parts had just been taken out of a
Quicksilver 933 and were used.I can see I am going to have to learn more
about this machine on the the internet.
She came with Leopard. If I don't update the hard drive right now,I can
wait to get a decent price on Leopard ppc.Ebay auctions always end up from
$80 and up.I have a horror of paying too much for a program. I even just
preordered Windows 7 for half price for my other omputer.
