Hi there folks, I think your feedback makes a lot of sense. What I was trying to come to grips with is why nearly all the guys on the US list seem to have pretty old Macs with Ati Radeon PCI cards (buggered if I would even know where to find one for a PC, let alone a Mac one), heaps of Ram and G3 upgrades....
I actually spend most of my days on peecees these days, so the Mac is really a hobby more than anything else. I got it for free from a client (I should have taken the 7300 now I realise), and have managed to get some good bargains on ebay for RAM and video card. I put the hard disk in myself, and will upgrade it to a 7200rpm drive if I get a chance. I tried to upgrade to 8.6, but it died after I did the free upgrade from Apple, so I went back to 8.5. Truth to tell, I loaded up Limewire on the Mac, and thought watching paint dry was faster than this .... I also have an iMac in the house, a 600MHz DV SE. It is not used much now because the hard disk sounds like the bearings are stuffed. Anyone know how to get one of these beasties open to change the drive over?
