well i was waiting for this day to come and it arrived quicker than i thought but i should of known, the poor powerbooks hdd had a bad sector and would no longer boot into os x. so i bought a new (re-furbished) pata drive at micro center thinking that it would be just a fast as the old drive since it was 5400 rpm as well, but alas i was wrong and i get beach balls pretty often when switching tabs or opening new windows.
so.........
what i am wondering is if i should take back the pata drive i bought and buy a sata ssd and a ide to sata adapter, or just put the money down on a pata ssd.
mind the fact that i do not want to put to much into the g4 i just would like to work properly again
the powerbook is a a1139 which is the high-res 17", 1.67ghz so it was quite usable before the drive went out. i would just like some feedback from those of you that have already done these mods/upgrades
