Hi I am looking for a replacement hard drive for a g4 500mhz (2000 model) minitower and also a suitable video card. Hard drive needs to be internal and at least 200 gigs. Video card can be anything that will suit. An upgrade from the ATI rage pro that would suit would be welcome Cheers pete McCallum 0409176611
