Hey everybody, a couple quick questions:
Ok, I have all the components I need for the Sawtooth I am building. I have:
-NEC 16x DVD RW
-1 GB of Ram
-OSX Tiger
-400 mhz processor
-ATI Rage 128 Pro card
-160 GB hard drive @ 7200 RPM
-19" Samsung LCD
-Apple Keyboard/Mighty Mouse
This seems like a decent way to spend $350 (I have friends who helped me out w/parts.....and before any of you say, 'You shoulda bought a mini'...I didn't want a mini)
This is what I can't wrap my head around (go easy on me) After I install all the hardware, can I just start it up and have it boot off of Tiger? I think what I'm asking is, will it be able to read all the new hardware, or am I doing it wrong? Also, is there anything I need to know before I try to boot it up? Anything that could kill my new toy before I kill it myself? Is a new video card necessary? Thanks all. Hope to have it up and running by the weekend.
