Ahoy!
I have a G5 iMac (17" 1.6). However it sits in the spare room not getting used, as I have a Mac mini and a MacBook that do everything.
I'm reluctant to get shot of the iMac, as it was my first Mac, but it's slow and noisy and rarely gets used.
I used to have the RAM maxxed out, but months later the RAM went bad, so it's at 512 (I think). It runs Leopard, although I think that Tiger is a better OS for PPC.
I was toying wit the idea of sticking in a SSD - although I hear you have to get an adapter and cut a jump connection (I ave no idea).
After this I was going to 'upgrade' it to Tiger. Not sure I will bother maxxing the RAM, as I won't be doing anything intensive on it.
I am hoping that the SSD will make doing basic tasks seem a lot more efficient and may encourage me to use it more. (I SSD'd my MacBook and was quite chuffed with the performance).
With that said I am tempted to bash it in with a cricket bat (with tears in my eyes).
Any thoughts on the best way to soop up this relic?
