I don't know what hers runs at, but my G4 Dual 1.25 MDD would take on a couple $20 512K ram sticks and max at 2GB, a $10 USB 2.0 card, and whatever PATA drive is on sale. The low end 400-450MHz machines may be long in the tooth, but these machines of mine have yet to show their age. I've gone over the edge, admittedly, added a $50 SATA card and 2X 1.5TB drives at $90 ea, but those drives will move nicely into a new Mac, and that expense was cheaper than the DVR expander for my TiVo, and 3X the size. (The TiVo ext box is $200 list for 1TB). I know, at some point Leopard won't be enough, the browser will not run somer strange new plug in, etc. For now, I think these machines kick butt. -- 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.
