I have an iBook G4 12.1" 1.33GHz 1.5GB RAM and a 40 GB HDD that I would like to upgrade and modify.
1. I would like to install a SSD to decrease temperature, decrease read/write times, and to increase capacity.
2. I would like to install a wireless N adapter inside the computer. My idea is to remove the modem and the current airport card and put the adapter where those two would be. Does anyone think this could work?
3. Upgrade the current ODD to a superdrive.
4. Does anyone know if it's possible to install a mini-disc/mini-dvd reader/writer that would also leave room to separate the original dvd slot to create enough room for an SD card slot?
This all might sound crazy to everyone, and it sounds a little crazy to me as well, but I am having fun trying to figure out how to make this computer work a little bit better to extend its life long enough to get me through my undergraduate work and then grad school. Thanks for any help.
