Re: A G5 upgrade
If you need to, get a larger HDD. 320GB is good, but the more, the better. RAM upgrades is always an option, since more RAM memory can make a computer faster.

Re: A G5 upgrade
Yeah, my first inclination was to do a migration assist. Maybe I'll do that with the primary drive, and swap the secondary drive. Unless the drive in the 1.8GHz is larger then I would just use Migration Assistant to move the 1.8 to the Dual 2.3 machine.

It's a good way to do it if you swap out the secondary drive to start with because you'll have an easier time customizing you new Dual 2.3 without the need of the 1.8 connected.
