I have been using a Yikes G4 with 1G ram and running Tiger 10.4.11 on
a 80 gig hard drive for a long time now- tiger has slowed down the
machine and youtube video is just too choppy (partially due to a
relatively slow DSL account). I just picked up a dual processor 800
Quicksilver for $50. I'm not looking forward to loading up all the
software and transfering all my files and preferences onto the
Quicksilver. What problems would I have,if any, of simply just moving
the hard drive from the Yikes to the Quicksilver
You can transfer the HD with little or no problems anticipated.
Alternatively, it might be better to get a newer, larger HD for the
QS, I see 500GB PATA IDE for $49. Then you can either clone your
System from the Yikes; or do a clean installation and use Migration
Assistant to move the accounts and data across.
Any of these methods should be fine.
