Four is right. The largest PATA drives easily found are 500GB, haven't seen 750/1TB. Not tough to add a SATA card to the PCI slot and get 2 or 4 SATA drives in there. SATAs are coming down in price, no sooner did I get 2 1.5TB drives for $90 ea than they're selling the 2TB models for $100. 3TB

You stated earlier that the memory you have from your IBM is ECC. The PowerMac doesn't support ECC memory. You need plain-jane, generic unbuffered memory. The same stuff that 99% of all PeeCee's run on. On Jul 5, 2010, at 6:17 PM, John Carmonne wrote: On Jul 5, 2010, at 4:10 PM, Miguel
