Hey everyone.
I've been thinking about ripping open my iBook G4. (1.33GHz, 1GB RAM, 40GB HDD, Tiger.) It shuts off from time to time and takes some real persuasion to turn back on. Sometimes it doesn't charge either, my guess is the DC in board is the root of my problems.
Anyway, while I'm going through the incredibly complicated process of taking it apart to fix, I thought about sticking an SSD in there. My HDD is really slow and I'm only using about 20GB of it. Loading stuff takes forever and it gets abused a lot, because my little sister uses it too. (There is a giant cranberry juice stain on the left palmrest. )
Should I do it? It seems like it might make it run a lot faster for the money.
What say you?
