ok...i'm going to install OS X on my G4/400...i was going to wait maybe another year, but not after i got wise and learned about some of the linux/php/mysql things i can tackle...
i thought i would just buy a new hard drive and start from square one...
one thing i've heard a couple times though is that OS X/9.2 will render some of my RAM unusable...has anybody experienced this? apparently, it had something to do with a firmware upgrade or something...
also...since i'll have three drives in my computer...should i do anything with the two old drives to make them work with OS X better? i've never been clear on this exactly...do i need to do anything with the slave drives (aside from moving pins around)...or will it be perfectly fine just to leave them as they are...(i'll need the one drive though just in case something goes haywire with installation)...
anything else i should think about before i install?
thanks for the tips...jv
