I know macs are not as bad as windows in their need for nuke and pave to get them running faster, but this will come in handy. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Will use it on my new G4 1.5 GHz Mac Mini, which I got today and booted up to make sure it works/had the specs advertised by the Swap List seller I bought it from.
