It would be way faster, but very likely it will be louder as well (MDDs are known for being the loudest PowerMacs, I think) - unless the original fans have been upgraded. > If we just swap out his HD from the now dead > 500mhz DP (running OS 10.4.11), will it work ok in this 1.25ghz DP model > without having to do anything else? AFAIK, it should work run just fine. I moved my OSX installation several times, from G3 to G4, and even from G4 to G5, and I had a little trouble just with some peripherals (I had to reinstall drivers). Going from G4 to G4 should be as smooth as silk. If your dad were using OS9, though, there could be issues: OS9 (and previous) installs machine-specific components (while OSX installs everything it might need). -- 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.
