To add to my previous post: my 1400 powerbook has IDE bus speed 16MB/s and it runs OS 8.6, so the project was still within my budget at that time, when a 10MB/s CF card was costing something like 35$. Prices have come down since then and I have been thinking of buying a 2GB with real 16MB/s, but in fact I’ve never noticed a problem with the current lower speed.
Of course, your situation is different: you want at least 8GB, your computer is faster probably, and you may be wanting to get an SSD for speed reasons. (And maybe you have more money to spend on this :-) My reason was that I needed a bigger and faster hard drive than the original one -- but not very much bigger and faster -- and that I wanted a computer that was completely silent. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
