You’re welcome, Rich, that’s what the list is for. But you could have made it a little easier for people if you had posted the model correctly the first time. If that Mac is really a Digital Audio, I’m still wondering from where you got that M5183 spec?
I can’t advise you on optical drives or video cards--I just don’t have enough experience. But about that harddisk: wouldn’t it be better to get her a new one, considering that it’ll be her system drive? Except for lots of WD drives, here’s an interesting ebay offer: 110562634993 (it’s ATA-133) Maybe other listers can comment what’s the importance of a drive’s interface: does the Digital Audio have ATA-66? Still, I guess it’s no harm putting in an ATA-100 or ATA-133 drive? And is my understanding correct that you can use larger-than-128MB drives without any tricks, as long as the partitions are all smaller than 128MB? RAM: I think www.lowendmac.com is a good place to find info and also links to the stuff you need. For example, I found this page through them: http://www.ramseeker.com/memory/Power_Mac_G4_(PC133)-512mb/ On 20 jul, 15:12, Richard Gerome <[email protected]> wrote: > Cool Geke, Thanks for that info!!! > I just got "AGP PNY nVidia GeForce FX 5200 128 video card and an Airport > Card for $32.00 off ebay, I am looking at a 2005 WD 160 7200rpm IDE 3.5" HD > now for $45.00 total with the shipping!
