Creating temporary File?

I've never used the "empty free space" option when zeroing my hard drive in disk utility yet. So, when the "Creating temporary file" comes up in the progression of the emptying process, what exactly does that mean, "creating temporary file"? I thought I was zeroing out the "free space"? Je

Motherboard swap for a Gigabit Ethernet G4

Howdy, I think I have all the pieces lined up to try upgrading my G4 Gigbit ethernet tower with a quicksilver CPU. It is my fastest current mac, so I am still a little bit nervous about it. Particularly the part about removing the pins for the IDE port for the DVD drive. I found a replacement
