**as far as HDs go, go SCSI all the way (unless you have IDEs already on hand)
there was a link for $15 an 18gb HD Cheetah (10k rpm) drive on dealmac. Dont know if still available, the store was surplus computers, i think. $15 is a good price! ** dont need to update processor card, but make sure your RAM is interleaved and that as much as you can afford is maxxed out. ** i have the same system and did not upgrade my processor card and add more RAM until this last Xmas - five years with hardly any upgrades (i did add 2- 64 mb ram sticks when i first purchased it, also upped the video ram to 4mb) ** if you can get a Radeon 7000 card, it makes a difference (imho) to relieve the onboard 4mb video ram card of any work. But it is still very usable! ** if you are not a heavy user, you can use this system for YEARS!! With my upgrades i plan to keep this baby until the cows come home - it does everything i need it to do! sonnet g4/800mhz 672 RAM radeon 7000 Belkin USB card sonnet tango (usb/firew) 4gb stock Quantum Fireball 9gb Cheetah 2-18gb Cheetahs stock floppy If you have a VGA monitor with 5 BNC cable attachment and want a cable to convert to a MAC connection (same connector on 8600 mobo) you can have my extra for a song.... __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
