Hello folks

At long last my old faithful G4 has been dragged kicking and screaming into a new life, it's now my dedicated iTunes machine sporting the following upgrades....

Nice to give older Mac's a new lease of life...can't decided if I want to leave it Tiger or try a Leopard upgrade now it's got the guns to handle that OS....hmmmm

Any who onto my G5 upgrade....lol

Peace

Tiger will run only slightly faster, and Leopard opens up a lot of software, like Leopardwebkit, later versions of iTunes etc. With Tiger though you still have Classic, and that's hella important for some folks.

Enjoy, that Powermac will still be plenty usuable for what you are planning!
 
What all was upgraded?

I see that the ram is now maxed, and the picture displaying the GeForce 3, but could you explain a little more?

Processor it's gone from a 533MHz to a 1.2GHz and DVD-Rom installed as well as graphics upgrade....

I was thinking about SATA drive or SSD convention but more than happy with speeds right now

Ahh, very nice. Did the graphics upgrade help? I don't expect much from this iBook, but its a work in progress. I don't have the money to shell out for an ssd, i'd love to have one, but its not necessary.

You can take pictures of the screen using Grab (located in Applications > Utilities.) It will take tiff files, you can open in preview, save as PNG, upload to MR. Better, easier to see, faster.
