Congrats on the 2300. Nice freebee! The ticking is indeed a dead power supply (know as the tick-of-death) so it's history unless you can get a knew PS. The 2300 is 100MHz PowerPC with 603e processor. It the first and only PowerMac Duo. It has at least 8MB RAM (more if it has been upgraded) and at least a 750MB HD or the optional 1.1GB. Check out more info on the PowerBook Duos here including info on the DuoDocks and a MiniDock. <http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/powerbook_duo/index.html> You can find tons of stuff on eBay for the Duos.
