After adding up the dollars to put this MDD together, I'm wondering
what the best quicksilver would be? I'm looking at 800mhz systems on
ebay for around 100 dollars? sure they're only 800mhz single
processor systems, but I can upgrade it later can't I? I just need a
really good tiger/os9 machine for odds and ends.... what's the best
q-
silver to get? Jeff
Hello Jeff,
This is easy - shoot for any of the 2002 models (800MHz, 933MHz, or
the best
of them all, 1GHz DP). The 2002 models introduced native, on-the-
board large
drive support.
Conversely, avoid the initial QS model, the 733Mz unit of 2001 -
this was
actually slower than the 733MHz Dig. Audio because it dropped the L3
cache
on the CPU.
HTH,
Dana
The next question is, is there any differences in the cases between
the 2001 and the 2002? ebay has lots of them but rarely do they tell
you the year? is there a way to tell from just looking at it? Jeff
